I MADE IT...TODAY makes 1 week that I have been back in the workforce in 2 years. I was still going to the HOPE center a few days a week but not an 8-5. I truly have enjoyed the freedom coming and going, when Keith was off we could just go!! I got the call a few weeks ago asking if I was interested in going back to work, I had to think about it....Though when I read the job description I knew it was time to come off my hiatus!! My new position as the Resident Opportunities for Self- Sufficiency (ROSS Coordinator) with the Port Arthur Housing Authority is pretty much what I know and have been doing for the last 15 years 8 of that being at HOPE. I truly enjoy working with residents being that cheerleader as they move step by step into Self-Sufficiency!!! Its not an easy task as mindsets must be changed....If any of my FB viewers would like to offer programs just inbox me!! Here are the Goals of the ROSS program...Let me just say...TODAY I met some AAAAMAZING residents who have started a Resident Association....They are TRULY wanting to better their lives and the lives of those that live in their apartment complex. I could not tell them enough how PROUD I was of them at PUSHING forward FOR CHANGE!!! Never think that people like being poor, situations that are unthinkable to us have broken spirits, but now they are doing all they can to move forward. 1. Increase resident Skills 2. Help residents increase income 3. Help residents increase work related skills 4. Help residents obtain and maintain employment 5. Increase residents participation in socialization activities 6. Increase residents participation in work related activities 7. Build Community!! TO REFORM Welfare it will take all of us..... Residents and Society to change our mindsets!!
