Navigation’s LIFT Program
Employers in Lancaster County are struggling to find qualified employees for open positions while under- or un-employed individuals are facing barriers to obtaining living-wage work.
These potential employees often have challenges that neither supervisors nor traditional EAP programs can full navigate. The “cliff effect” created by current state and federal assistance policies means that people with these challenges don’t qualify for public and many private supports as soon as they take that one good job.
