Homeless men and women seek support from human service organizations throughout New York City. These organizations provide housing, drug and alcohol treatment, medical services, mental health services and casework support. SoHo/TriBeCa Partnership's employment readiness and placement program, Project Comeback, supplements these services in a collaborative effort with human service providers to assist these men and women with their commitment to their recovery and to attaining a more stable and productive life.

SoHo/TriBeCa Partnership offers these determined men and women and opportunity to apply their effort and spirit to regaining their dignity, pride and self esteem through the carrying out of community sponsored improvement projects. The program participants' responsibilities include: daily street sweeping, refuse removal, snow and ice removal and other initiatives requested by the community. Community members pay membership dues to TriBeCa Partnership to cover the cost of services delivered. The program participants receive a stipend of $6 per hour and work 20-24 hours a week.

Key components to successful program participation are required job training workshops offered through Project Comeback, which provide counseling, peer support, referral to educational services and internships with local businesses. The curriculum is designed to prepare participants for the ultimate goal of securing full time employment .

Through their commitment to self reliance and independence, Project Comeback program participants utilize the services of an inhouse job development professional who assists graduates in developing resumes, preparing for interviews and finding full-time employment. Our program offers continuing support even after job placement.
