The Transitional Jobs – Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) program is a rapid attachment to work initiative which provides eligible residents of CHA developments with wage-paying, short-term employment that combines real work, skills development, and supportive services to successfully transition participants into the labor market. By working in a subsidized position ranging from eight to 14 weeks, program participants earn a paycheck, learn technical skills for higher wage jobs, and receive intensive mentoring and support. Transitional Jobs is the first step toward permanent employment and economic opportunity.
