About this grant
UpLIFTD is one of three organizations in Louisiana’s Gulf Coast region that has worked over the past three years to launch an alternative staffing program. Alternative staffing organizations, which are temporary staffing firms owned and operated by community-based agencies, have the potential to bridge the gap between the needs of employers and employees. This type of employment effort will help an area that is still recovering from the aftereffects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. With this renewal grant, the grantee will continue to implement and operate an alternative staffing project.
