Community Help

At this time I feel that all the funding that Riverside County CA gets to help the unemployed and the people that are transitioning from jail-2-jobs is not being used for this purpose.

We don't need employment training by people that have no idea of what these people have been through. We don't need your employment training or computer training or even your workshops. What the residents of Riverside County CA need is JOBS! We need a detailed list of Companies that are currently hiring and the positions and qualifications. We need for Riverside County CA to explain the BOUNDING process to these companies and get them on board. More than 70% of the residents here in Riverside CA have been incarcerated for one thing or another. From DUI's to Petty Theft, Domestic Violence, Fraud, Prostitution, Drug Sales, Position, Weapons.. I mean the list goes on but who am I to judge? The Judge is the person that sentenced these people and the Jury if that applies to their case. Now that they served the time for the crime, what now??

 

We put them a program (WFD) that shows them what? Teaches them what?? People need to work NOW and want to work but our County keeps spending money on programs that don't help anyone but the Higher Up that control all this stuff. Who am I to say all this?? I am a resident of Riverside County CA and I have a right to speak on it. Have I ever approached this issue and tried to provide the City with my ideas?? Yes, several times and the last time was back in 2013. I was speaking with the head of the Work Program/Re-Entry Program of Banning CA and he was awesome and agreed with me in regards to what we need to get people back to work and off these streets. Idle hands is the devils playground. I was suppose to bring my strategic plan to introduce it to the rest of the Board and then I was dismissed with messages and no call backs until I went online toed and saw they already put in place the Work/Re-Entry Program.. They just forgot to tell me..
