Nineteen Isaiah House graduates secured jobs with five local manufacturers over the past year, expanding the Kentucky nonprofit’s push to move people from recovery into stable work.
That hiring pipeline aims to keep clients from returning to homelessness or jail by pairing long-term treatment graduates with employers willing to look past addiction stigma.
Earth Breeze in Harrodsburg hired graduate David Taylor about a year ago; he now works as a retail fulfillment supervisor after arriving at Isaiah House homeless and repeatedly in jail.
Jason Gabhart, another graduate who now serves as a client care navigator across 12 Kentucky counties, said the partnerships help employers find dependable workers while giving people in recovery a path to rebuild their lives.
