Employ our Sources Job Candidates

You have the opportunity to make a real difference in your community by hiring a formerly unhoused individual through our Sources Career Development program.
Union Station Homeless Services Sources Program has been connecting work-ready candidates with employers for nearly 25 years

what is sources?

Sources is Union Station Homeless Services’ program for our work-ready clients. It addresses the short-term need for employment as well as the long-term goal of career advancement. During the first phase of the program, Sources candidates receive two weeks of workshop instruction in subjects ranging from work motivation to job interviewing. During the second phase, candidates work individually with a career developer to produce a resume, follow up on job leads, and receive individual coaching on interview strategies. In phase three, Sources offers candidates continuing counseling with job retention and satisfaction issues, and assistance with other employment-related issues such as clearing criminal records, income tax-issues and reinstatement of driving privileges.
