Employment Matters - NTJN's Working to End Homelessness Initiative

Most people experiencing or at risk of homelessness want to work and paid employment is a critical piece in helping individuals achieve personal and family stability. Evidence and practice tells us that when offered employment opportunities and supports, people experiencing or at risk of homelessness can and do succeed in work.

To shine a spotlight on the critical role of employment in ending homelessness and to advance promising workforce solutions to addressing homelessness, the National Transitional Jobs Network launched the Working to End Homelessness Initiative in 2011 with support from the Butler Family Fund.

As a result, we're excited to share a series of best practice briefs with the field, which include:

Presidential Memorandum Supports Entrepreneurship for those with Disabilities


The White House Friday, January 20, 2012
 

As our nation continues to recover from the economic downturn, the President continues to demonstrate that all Americans, including Americans with disabilities, must play a part in that recovery and have opportunities to work and contribute to our society.

Today, the President issued a memorandum to the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies regarding the Federal Support for the Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program. 
 
The text is below or you can find it online at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/01/20/presidential-memorandum-federal-support-randolph-sheppard-vending-facili.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release January 20, 2012
January 20, 2012

Memorandum For the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

SUBJECT: Federal Support for the Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program

Thousands of Americans who are blind have embraced the entrepreneurial spirit that helps define our Nation as a land of opportunity. Through the Federal Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Program administered by the Department of Education, talented and creative individuals who are blind have acquired the management training and business skills necessary to realize the American dream -- a lifetime of economic opportunity, independence, and self-sufficiency for themselves and their families.

For 75 years, blind business managers have successfully operated food services and commercial ventures at Federal, State, and private buildings and locations nationwide. We honor and celebrate this program's historic achievements. We also trust that the Randolph-Sheppard Program will continue to be a leading model for providing high-quality entrepreneurial opportunities for blind individuals. From a simple snack shop, to tourist services at the Hoover Dam, to full food-services operations at military installations, blind entrepreneurs have provided exceptional customer service to Federal and State employees, the Armed Forces, and the general public. With proven ability, they have challenged preconceived notions about disability.

The Randolph-Sheppard Act (20 U.S.C. 107 et seq.) created the Vending Facility Program requiring qualified blind individuals be given a priority to operate vending facilities on Federal properties. This program is responsible today for providing entrepreneurial opportunities for over 2,500 individuals who are blind. In turn, these business managers have hired thousands of workers, many of whom are individuals with disabilities. Every American, including persons with disabilities, deserves the opportunity to succeed without limits, earn equal pay for equal jobs, and aspire to full-time, career-oriented employment.

Continued support and cooperation are needed from executive departments, agencies, and offices (agencies) to extend the Randolph-Sheppard priority to qualified blind managers through the State licensing agencies that implement the program. Therefore, I direct all agencies that have property management responsibilities to ensure that agency officials, when pursuing the establishment and operation of vending facilities (including cafeterias and military dining facilities) as defined in 20 U.S.C. 107e, issue permits and contracts in compliance with the Randolph-Sheppard Program and consistent with existing regulations and law. I further direct the Secretary of Education, through the Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration, to submit a report to the President on agencies' implementation of the Randolph-Sheppard Program not later than 1 year from the date of this memorandum.

This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
The Secretary of Education is hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.

2012 National Transitional Jobs Network Conference

Restoring the Promise of Work: Subsidized Employment & Transitional Jobs

 

Baltimore, MD I April 12-13, 2012  

 

A disproportionate number of people with barriers to labor market entry - including those with little or no work history or skills, those living in unstable housing, those with criminal records, and individuals with low literacy - continue to face alarming rates of unemployment far surpassing national averages.

Subsidized employment and Transitional Jobs programs support access to employment, earned income and real work experience for those with employment barriers. Given the realities of our current labor market and the challenges that lay ahead, the mandate for the Restoring the Promise of Work Conference is to advance the field of Subsidized Employment and Transitional Jobs. Through cutting-edge content, user-friendly resources, peer-learning opportunities and discussions, the goals of the conference are to:

  • Bolster existing programs serving people with barriers to employment through adoption of best and promising practices;
  • Expand the dialogue about federal, state and local investment and support of Subsidized employment and Transitional Jobs programs; and
  • Nurture new research and innovation about how best to support labor market entry and advancement for hard to employ individuals.
