Homeless Prenatal Project (HPP), a San Francisco nonprofit whose work I greatly admire, announced today that five more women successfully completed their year-long Community Health Worker Training Program. This highly competitive program prepares economically disadvantaged women for employment and its success rate is terrific. Since 1995, there have been 132 graduates of the program, 92% of whom found full-time employment, with benefits, within 30 days of finishing the program. This success is just one of many achieved by HPP under the remarkable leadership of Martha Ryan. Others include ending homelessness for 2,160 families in the last six years alone and helping HPP clients deliver more than 2,160 babies, 95.5% of whom were drug-free.
