the project
WORK LOCAL is an innovative program designed to improve our community through job access and blight reduction. WORK LOCAL will transport job-seeking panhandlers to cleanup sites twice a week, where they will work to reduce urban blight. Workers are provided with food, a day’s wages, and additional services and counseling as needed.
Projected Impact in First Year:
• 1,040 daily jobs provided
• 104 blight abatement projects completed
• 80 clients moved into permanent jobs
the steps
• Pick up panhandlers
• Clean up work sites
• Offer support
• Engage local agencies, businesses and individuals to expand impact
why we're doing it
WORK LOCAL focuses on three goals:
• Provide a safer way to earn money than panhandling
• Connect people who panhandle with available services and resources to move them toward better futures
• Contribute to the beautification of Memphis by cleaning up blighted areas of our city
