Cash For Employers

On March 2 around 100 employers attended the third “Cash for Employers” event where they learned about a variety of fiscal benefits and programs for hiring hard-to-employ populations, including the formerly incarcerated. At the event the Reentry Network promoted the Reentry Employment Toolkit which outlines the financial incentives and benefits associated with hiring people who have a past conviction. The event also highlighted the Alameda County Social Service Agencies Subsidized Employment Program and the City of Oakland’s Enterprise zone tax credits. Cash for Employers was held at the East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF). All of the documents and materials from the event, including the Reentry Employment Toolkit can be accessed through the links below.
