HomeAid WORKS • San Diego
The HomeAid WORKS (Workforce Opportunities for Rebuilding through Knowledge and Skills) Program was developed to offer a solution to address the critical labor shortage in the home building industry by providing technical construction training, education and job opportunities for at-risk youth, men, women, and veterans who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness or exiting homelessness.

The goal of the HomeAid WORKS Program is to provide people with solid training in construction skills, career support and ultimately meaningful employment in the construction industry.
This program removes barriers to employment and provides opportunities for quality, meaningful work at a livable wage. Through established and developing partnerships with national and local construction educational programs, training facilities, social service organizations, high schools and faith-based entities, the WORKS Program offers training in building industry skills and potential jobs to increase the likelihood of students permanently exiting homelessness with a sustainable and developing career.
