Workfare Site Application
Bidnet
Summary
The City and County of Denver (CCD), on behalf of Denver Human Services’ (DHS) Economic Resilience Division (ERD), is seeking applications from a pool of qualified government entity, for-profit, and nonprofit Denver community organizations to become designated workfare sites for eligible customers that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP to Success), Employment and Training (E&T) and other benefits. Workfare or work experience is unpaid, skills based, time that individuals spend with either nonprofit (workfare) or for-profit (work experience) organization. The goal is to give a person experience in a job or industry in order to enhance their employability skills. Colorado’s philosophy is that workfare provides a steppingstone to paid employment while providing valuable service to the community. The workfare sites will align key industries, sector partnerships, and local business needs such that the skill development directly ties to the interest and aptitude of each customer and the local labor market.
