Jobs Plus Program
The City of Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s Jobs-Plus program is a comprehensive employment initiative designed to support all working-age residents of Jamestown Place, Indian Rock Village, and Scattered Sites. This program focuses on locally-driven, job-centered strategies to enhance earnings and improve employment outcomes. Through work readiness training, employer connections, job placement assistance, educational advancement, technology skills development, and financial literacy, Jobs-Plus equips residents with the tools they need for long-term career success.
How it Works
We work one-on-one with members to guide them through the employment process and help them develop skills that will advance their current employment or achieve other employment-related goals.
Increase Job Readiness
Through the Jobs-Plus Program, members gain access to vital support services such as transportation, child care, and health and mental health resources—ensuring they have what they need to maintain steady employment. This program also offers valuable training and development opportunities, helping participants build skills and become top-tier employees.
Here are some of the free services that we offer:
- Work-readiness training
- Employer linkages
- Financial counseling
- Educational advancement
- Job placement
- Employment counseling
This program is designed to take you from job seeker to job finder! A variety of training and educational programs are available across multiple industries, including CDL training, food services, welding, machining, healthcare, and more.
Rent Incentives
JPEID is a rent incentive that allows qualified residents to maintain their current rent payment when earned wages increase. Through the Jobs-Plus program, participants are eligible for this benefit, which ensures that when their earned wages increase, their rent does not. This allows participants to focus on advancing their careers without the immediate concern of higher rent due to increased income.
– IMPORTANT NOTICE –
This program is set to end in December 2025, so if you’re interested in applying, we strongly
encourage you to enroll as soon as possible to take full advantage of the opportunities available.
