Review for Homefront Inc, Lawrenceville, NJ, USA
As a member of the Development Committee of HomeFront, I am in a position to observe all aspects of the organization. Tackling the Catch-22 that so many working poor face (some income but not enough) head on is the key to HomeFront's success. It is the epitome of "teaching a person to fish". Their programs train their clients in all aspects of life, from job seeking skills to budgeting to parenting. Their committment goes far beyond a hand out and a place to stay for a while. They provide a solid hand grasp and a refuge where families can recoup, reassess and recover.

It surpasses governmental assistance programs by concentrating on developing clients' skills to get meaningful jobs and offering the support necessary to allow the clients' to take advantage of the programs.
