Better Works, a program of Better Bucks Program Sierra Vista, is working to improve the lives of those experiencing homelessness. It sets them up with a job and steady income.
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. — Excitement filled the crisp air at the Good Neighbor Alliance homeless shelter in Sierra Vista, as four men piled into a work van and headed to work. They didn't know where they were going or what they might have encountered, but none the less, the men were thrilled.
The four men got about a five minute briefing and started clearing the trash. Within an hour, the area occupying the leftovers from three homeless people was clean and garbage free.Three of the four men are homeless and the fourth just received housing earlier this week — for the first time in three and half years.
Better Works, a program of Better Bucks Program Sierra Vista, is a partnership with the City of Sierra Vista which provides jobs to homeless men and women. After every four hour shift, the group is paid in cash for their work. Better Bucks Board President Scott Borgstadt said this is a job for these men and women and they're compensated like anyone with a job is. He added, the program is grant funded, which is where the payment money comes from.
