🚨 Riverside County Employers: Final Opportunity! 🚨
The Employer Connect Program ends at the end of this month, and funding is extremely limited. We are now accepting businesses on our waitlist for the last remaining dollars.
Through this initiative, employers may receive 100% wage reimbursement up to $20/hour for the first 480 hours—a total of up to $9,600 for hiring and training a new employee. Eligible employers must have hired a new employee on or after January 1, 2025.
Participants also receive a two‑hour virtual training for their new hire, focused on Riverside County’s homelessness services and referral resources—equipping staff to respond confidently and compassionately to homelessness‑related concerns.
Please note: Businesses may only participate once, and repeat participation is not permitted.
📣 Act now before the program concludes!
