STRATEGIES FOR STRENGTHENING COLLABORATION BETWEEN
HOMELESS SERVICES AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEMS
This excellent report from the Heartland Alliance identifies the gaps between organizations serving people who are homeless and workforce development systems. It goes on to make important recommendations about how these systems can partner to help people who are homeless become successfully employed.
HANDLING EMPLOYMENT GAPS ON THE RESUME
Employment gaps on a resume are a barrier to employment, but there are things you can do to help minimize their impact.

the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs. There are hundreds of thousands of survivors of human trafficking in the United States. Here is a link to some important information about how to work with survivors.
