Generated Narrative Section
Problem Statement (adapted for funder priorities):
In our five-county service area, 34% of families live below the poverty line, with limited access to job training and childcare support. Our 2024 needs assessment found that 78% of interviewed families lack digital literacy skills needed for entry-level employment. These barriers perpetuate intergenerational poverty and limit economic mobility.
The Johnson Family Foundation's commitment to workforce development directly addresses this gap. Our proposed program builds on our successful Job Ready Initiative (2021-2024), which trained 450 individuals and achieved 72% employment placement within 6 months.
