There are a couple of examples across the country where money has been put toward social enterprise or creating workplace opportunities for people who haven't had much experience in the last little while. So if you take someone who's had a lot of chaos in their lives and previous trauma that has led them to being homeless, their initiation back into the workplace needs to be guided and gentle, in some ways. There needs to be a realization that their present life circumstances aren't the same as mine, because if I apply for a job at a construction company, I have a place to live, a phone, and food to eat.
If we are looking at using stimulus money to provide opportunities for those who are in a chaotic place, we need to create the work environment that supports the chaotic place so they can transition from chaos to organization and structure in their own lives. Once they're there, that support isn't needed. But there is a way to tag-team stimulus money and supports to people who need a gradual introduction back into the workplace.
