The Homeless Garden Project’s transitional employment and job training program serves individuals in Santa Cruz County who are experiencing homelessness, have barriers to employment and who wish to reach financial self-sufficiency.
For over 27 years, the Homeless Garden Project has helped trainees overcome obstacles to re-entering the workforce and gaining stable housing, graduating more than 650 individuals from the program. In 2016, 91% of HGP graduates attained stable housing and income.
By shopping at the holiday store, guests will be helping to support trainees in transforming their lives and gaining the skills they need to build their home in the world.
