Workforce Development and Financial Independence
Success Story
“James is a 26-year-old father of three who had just been released from state prison on a felony charge. He had no job, no driver’s license, and no connection with his children or their mother since his incarceration. He arrived at the Newark Comprehensive Center for Fathers with substantial child support arrears, adrift in the world.”

Workforce Development Success Stories
JANUS Solutions spearheaded a welfare-to-work program for a large urban county and its major city that has the highest participation rate in New Jersey. We developed collaborative funding streams, designed and implemented programs, we continue to provide government relations services to the effort at all levels and to oversee strategy assessment and reporting.
In Hudson County, New Jersey, we helped the county develop a Re-entry Task Force and Strategic Plan to address the high level of recidivism at the county jail. This strategy has raised over one million dollars dedicated to providing services and supports for inmates re-entering their communities after incarceration. In preventing reincarceration, such efforts benefit not only the individuals served, but the community as a whole, saving money while improving lives.
