All participants in this program will be required to first attend a 4-week training program through Jobs Plus.

Remodeling / Renovating Vacant or Distressed Properties:

Finally, the Welcome Home Collaborative will acquire vacant or distressed homes/buildings in the inner city of Cincinnati with the intent to remodel and restore them. The goal is to beautify neighborhoods in the inner city and lift up the people in these neighborhoods.
