St. Joseph the Worker’s longtime Preferred Business Partner, SSP America, employs over 600 full-time workers in the Valley at any given time. They operate over a dozen food concepts in Sky Harbor Airport which provides a pathway to a career and great benefits. Like any business, they have employees who are housing insecure and may be too embarrassed to talk about it or feel like their employer might not have a way to help. SSP has an amazing HR staff and they were willing to provide our Workforce Villages information in their onboarding information to new hires. James took advantage of the opportunity and flourished.
As James and John will attest, something so simple can be life changing both personally and professionally. SJW offers a pathway to stable housing with individuals using their own funds to secure an apartment based on education, empowerment, and accountability. These type of partnerships are vital for maximum impact in our community. Congratulations, James on your success getting your own apartment and at work where you are on a great career track.
