| Regardless of where the U.S. economy is headed, one thing is certain—our economy works best when it works for everyone. Despite the drive to succeed, millions of Americans remain stuck—sidelined from access and opportunity. Some due to the trauma of homelessness, incarceration, and other steep barriers to employment—barriers often caused and compounded by the racial inequities embedded in our systems. The net effect? We are missing out on all the talent and potential this country has to offer. REDF works to ensure this talent is revealed, reinforced, and realized, by investing in and driving demand for Employment Social Enterprises—businesses that hire the very talent others have sidelined—and provide the training, skill building, and support they need to thrive. |
