Though initially impacted by last month's SCSEP furloughs, Yanmei and Niaofu Wu have since been hired by their host agency!
Despite this great news, thousands of seniors remain furloughed and vulnerable as the funding pause continues, reminding us that #SCSEPMatters.
“Thanks to SCSEP, I found more than a job: I found my confidence, my purpose, and a new community.”
Xiufen’s story is a testament to the power of workforce training programs like SCSEP and why they should continue to be funded. #SCSEPMatters
Yapei was just starting to feel hope when he was furloughed due to the #SCSEP funding pause. For him and thousands of other low-income elders, being furloughed means no job training and no support.
SCSEP is a resource for seniors to find work and age with dignity. #SCSEPMatters
The Dept. of Labor still has not released funding for SCSEP past June 30. Without SCSEP, many older adults like Soy will lose income to pay for taxes, rent and food.
