At Rockford Housing Authority, we believe in lifting each other up—and on May 2nd, we saw what that really looks like when neighbors, companies, and opportunity came together under one roof.
A Day That Changed Lives
Our May 2nd Job Fair wasn’t just another event—it was a turning point. Local companies showed up ready to meet the people behind the resumes, offering interviews and even hiring some folks on the spot. Residents and community members left feeling seen, hopeful, and, for many, with a brand-new job lined up. It was a powerful day where possibilities became real.
Progress You Can See and Feel
The Jobs Plus team knows every small step forward matters. That’s why they’ve been sending out letters to everyone enrolled, showing just how much they’re saving on rent. These savings are a quiet but steady win, and they’re setting people up for even bigger success when the program wraps up on January 1, 2026. Every dollar saved is a little more freedom gained.
Building a Stronger Tomorrow
Support doesn’t stop at a new job offer. We’re committed to making sure everyone has the tools to stay successful, with ongoing workshops on financial literacy and credit management. It’s about helping every resident not just reach their goals—but build a life where they keep reaching higher.
The Job Fair was a reminder that real change doesn’t happen all at once—it’s built, moment by moment, together. And together, our Jobs Plus community is proving that a brighter future is within reach.
