In FaithWorks: An Innovative Approach to Workforce Development, Carla Harris boldly contributes to the national conversation about changing human services for the betterment of citizens in transition, and as part of the evolving shift from welfare to Workforce Development.
“As comfortable in the Hood as I am in the White House,” Carla Harris demands that citizens living on the margins and the sidelines be treated with dignity and seen as ‘Candidates’ rather than clients, numbers, or members of a forgotten society led by overworked, uninspired bureaucrats.
In FaithWorks, Harris traces her own journey from the sidelines and outlines an inspiring approach to “humanizing human services” that views our fellow citizens as valuable men and women with great potential, and as neighbors who deserve respectful assistance on their journeys to finding jobs, building careers, and seizing the happiness they’ve envisioned for their families.
