The Making It Work Program attempts to dissolve barriers between the stand-alone housing and employment "silos". Given, an isolated service delivery system can never garner the duplicate mainstream resources required to alleviate poverty and its debilitating symptoms such as homelessness. Making It Work is a wrap-around service delivery model clearly demonstrating the interrelatedness of stable housing to stable employment, and vice versa.

Making It Work focuses on bridging gaps in mainstream programming contributing to chronic unemployment and homelessness. Many programs and services regularly operate in isolation from one another creating layers of conflicting requirements. Often unwittingly penalizing persons in need as they strive to navigate multiple systems thereby limiting positive outcomes.
