Growth Project

The Growth Project will match quality jobseekers with available jobs that pay a decent wage that will lead to a career. We connect and listen to local employers who tell us what they need. Once a jobseeker selects a job they want to pursue, we connect them directly to the training and resources. The Training resource is a data base through Tech Dynamism. This software will order the Job seeker pathway step by step. In the pathway we partner with local community resources to meet the needs of our job seekers like affordable childcare, reliable transportation, legal assistance, health care, and more.

Tech Dynamism help gives us the business structure we need to be successful to our clients. Clients will have a login that will have their pathway wants/needs listed. Clients can take control of their lives by clicking each pathway and this will signal the life coach to start working their case to get the services they need immediately. we put the clients InControl by keeping step by step track of their needs.

Our solution does not discriminate its open to any job seeker. Our main market is the middle-class and below which seems to have the most impact in our community as well as refugees. These group of individuals are overlooked and sometimes their worth ethic can appear undervalued this group of seekers are tomorrow's leaders. We understand there need by giving them hope of a solid foundation by taking a stand to do most of the leg work of a well balance life. We address their needs by completing a one-on-one intake with a life coach that creates a care plan and jumps right in by meeting their basic needs first. Proof of documentation is required for any assistance given to make sure funds are distributed fairly and accurately. Our community is super diverse 30 American 40 African American 20 Indian 10% Mixed or 1 or more races. Ages run from 25-50. 60 Females 40 Males. Income raging from 30,000-80,000.

In the larger Charlottesville community, 9,413 families (14%) do not make enough money to afford the essentials of life food, shelter, clothing and utilities and the added costs associated with working—childcare and transportation. This number represents the families making less than $35,000 in our region.

This is a significant improvement since the first Orange Dot Report in 2011. For the Charlottesville region, defined here as the city of Charlottesville and the surrounding counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson, the comparable number of families struggling in the region in 2011 was 12,552, which was 21% of families. Over one out of five families. The 2022 number–9,413 families–is a 25% reduction in the number of struggling families in the region.

We recognize, however, that the cost of essentials has gone up over time. For example, these basic needs currently require over $45,000 a year for a single parent with a toddler in childcare.2 In this report, we continue to use the $35,000 income threshold as the break point for defining struggling families to remain consistent with the four prior reports, so these numbers should be understood as a minimum–at least 9,413 families are struggling.
