In 2023 Uplift began a Same Day Work Program (SDWP.) SDWP is a trauma-informed, no barrier approach to assisting underserved individuals in need of an immediate solution for employment.

To achieve success, Uplift created a practice model which standardizes the SDWP experience by taking a trauma informed approach, while maintaining a level of flexibility to meet individuals where they are.

This program targets individuals who are experiencing homeless, or housing insecure. They could be a returning citizen, a veteran and or person with a disability.

Uplift’s SDWP program runs 4 days per week for 3 weeks with participants receiving $50 per day for 4 hours of training/employment. When the program completes, employers have the opportunity to hire the participants.
