The Ladder Project [Laura Miller, Chair, Congregation Shearith Israel]

The Ladder Project is a non-profit organization focused on helping homeless individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency. Their mission involves providing support across five key areas: communication, employment, housing, financial accountability, and medical care. Since September 30, 2018, they have assisted 77 individuals (36 families), with 50 (26 families) successfully completing the program and achieving independence. The project partners with local hospitals and senior living communities for job placement, and provides comprehensive support including securing housing, furnishing apartments, and offering financial and medical assistance. Recent partnerships since June 2022 have shown the highest success rates in transitioning individuals to self-sufficiency.

This item highlights a successful non-profit initiative that provides critical support services to homeless individuals and families, helping them secure employment and housing, and ultimately achieve self-sufficiency.
