The Housing Authority of Champaign County recently held a Job and Resource Fair, an event designed to support SHIFT program participants and others seeking career opportunities and access to valuable community resources. The fair served as a platform for connecting local job seekers with employment prospects and offering information on various community services.
Neighborhood Programs staff shared information on how individuals can become city-certified contractors for housing rehabilitation programs at the event. Attendees were also asked to participate in a brief activity gathering feedback on the Consolidated Plan, which guides local housing and community development initiatives.
Chief Tyler and Joe Lamberson from Champaign Police also attended the event. They shared safety information and employment opportunities at CPD and METCAD with those in attendance.
