Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Oasis Expansion Recompete Plan, led by the Platform for Social Impact, will invest in comprehensive economic development initiatives in the Villa Prades public housing community of San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This neighborhood is experiencing a poverty rate of 47 percent (over 400 percent the national average).
Villa Prades residents face insufficient wages and lack opportunities for good jobs; as a result, many workers are dependent on informal employment.
This coalition aims to overcome these barriers by adopting an integrated, multigenerational support model to help working-age adults return to work.
This project will support community awareness and education campaigns on benefits, employee/employers campaign to boost morale in the workplace, and pilot an income supplement with 100 families.
