Community Impact

Community Impact Participants of the Jobs Plus Program have experienced significant growth in employment rates and income levels. The program’s success is not only evident in improved economic outcomes but also in the personal stories of transformation.  

  • A single parent used the program’s resources to gain certification in a high-demand field, securing stable employment and becoming a mentor to others in the community.
  • Another participant overcame employment barriers through career coaching, obtaining a commercial driver’s license and a career in transportation.

These success stories demonstrate how SHA’s efforts extend beyond individual residents, fostering resilience and economic growth across the broader community. By reducing dependency on public assistance and encouraging financial independence, the Jobs Plus Program is helping to break the cycle of poverty, creating opportunities for future generations.

The Selma Housing Authority’s Jobs Plus Program exemplifies the transformative power of innovative, community-focused initiatives. Its success highlights SHA’s commitment to uplifting individuals, revitalizing neighborhoods, and fostering a culture of empowerment and opportunity.
