Proud to Support Series
FFH has been a proud partner with The Hope Program since 2016.
HOPE empowers New Yorkers living in poverty to achieve economic self-sufficiency through employment and advancement.
The HOPE Program is a job training, placement and career advancement program with a track record of strong results. They consistently exceed 70% job placement among graduates; their 90-day job retention rates are among the top ten percent nationwide, according to a national benchmarking study; and a leading philanthropy has stated that their one-year job retention rates are “laudable…and well above portfolio average.”
HOPE was just selected for a competitive program through the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City to couple their award-winning workforce services with mental health care. This grant will break the stigma surrounding mental health care for HOPE clients, improve access to services, and lead to even stronger job placement and retention outcomes.
