Exhibit B: Scope of Work 
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED POPULATION 
According to the Point In Time (PIT) count for Maricopa County, AZ, individual homelessness increased by 
12% from 2019 to 2020. In Central Phoenix and the surrounding neighborhoods, unsheltered homelessness 
increased by 58% between 2017-2020 (AZMAG, 2020). In the East and West Valleys (two sparsely 
resourced regions for those experiencing homelessness), the rate of unsheltered individuals increased by 
129% and 219% within the same time. And although the unemployment rate for Arizonans has decreased 
from April 2020's record highs (14.2% to 5.7% in September 2021), access to livable, quality employment 
opportunities and resources for gaining and maintaining employment as soon as possible are not evenly 
distributed for those facing homelessness and/or poverty, further disproportionately affecting this already­
disadvantaged population's ability to gain or maintain stability due to the Pandemic. 
The staggering numbers illustrated above outline a community demand for quality services that lead 
disproportionately affected, homeless, and impoverished job seekers to self-sufficiency. Unfortunately, the 
population that has been disproportionately affected by the Pandemic is the same as the already 
impoverished and homeless demographic. This population has further fallen into poverty or homelessness 
and is the population of job seekers that St. Joseph the Worker (SJW) has always served and will continue 
to serve no matter what their disadvantage or barrier, allowing them a pathway to self-sufficiency through 
quality employment quickly, effectively, and efficiently. 
SJW's intensive workforce development program addresses each client's unique and disproportionate 
challenges by breaking any barriers to employment and then providing quality employment opportunities 
through one-on-one coaching and resources that are tailored distinctively to the needs of the individual in 
crisis. St. Joseph the Worker believes that quality employment is a true way to prevent or overcome poverty 
and homelessness, however, St. Joseph the Worker also acknowledges that the pathways for clients to 
become employed are just as unique as the individuals experiencing crisis. For this reason, SJW does not 
have cut and dry program requirements, but rather adheres to a proven guide to serve each client uniquely 
yet effectively through SJW's established, straightforward approach. St. Joseph the Worker has risen to the 
challenge for over thirty (30) years and has supported the homeless, impoverished, and disadvantaged 
population of Maricopa County into quality employment leading to self-sufficiency. To demonstrate SJW's 
commitment and success in getting this population of disproportionately affected job seekers employed 
quickly, between May 2021 (the onset of Governor Ducey's "Arizona Back to Work" incentives) and 
September 2021 SJW has served 2,920 individuals into employment with an average wage of over $17 per 
hour and 81 % receiving benefits. Over three hundred (300) of these individuals are clients who are living 
at a partner organization's shelter, Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), and had an average wage of 
over $18 per hour and 80% receiving benefits. 
PROPOSED SERVICE - NAVIGATION SERVICES 
In 1988, the Andre House soup kitchen and ministry created St. Joseph the Worker (SJW) in response to 
pleas from homeless individuals yearning to become self-sufficient through work: "We want jobs, but we

SERIAL# 220151-RFP 
don't have the tools." Since SJW's humble beginnings over thirty (30) years ago, the sole purpose and 
mission has remained: to assist homeless, low-income, and other disadvantaged individuals in their efforts 
to become self-sufficient through quality employment. Since March 2020, this includes those who find 
themselves in financial crisis, major career transitions, and those who are disproportionately affected by 
the Covid-19 pandemic. 
SJW has over thirty (30) years of experience working solely in providing workforce development navigation 
services to disadvantaged job seekers, including career planning that directs clients to the current in­
demand industries, workforce development including career exploration in the current labor market, and 
assisting disadvantaged job seekers with barrier-breaking resources and support, and ultimately access to 
quality employment. SJW continuously surveys clients and innovates within the mission to provide more or 
better services around employment spending on client needs as well as keeps up with the ever-changing 
employment landscape and labor market through representation and partnerships. SJW's most recently 
completed fiscal year demonstrates the proven success of SJW's workforce development program for 
disadvantaged and disproportionately affected demographics. In the fiscal year 2020/2021 (July 1 to June 
30) during the onset of Covid-19, SJW served 5,629 individuals with workforce development services.
SJW's client demographics were as follows for the same fiscal year: 61 % identified as male; 57% identified
as a person of color and 11 % identified as Other or Mixed race; SJW also serves 40% justice-involved
clients (SJW's justice-involved percentages has steadily hovered around the 40% mark).
St. Joseph the Worker's intensive workforce development program and case management provides free, 
timely, proven, and targeted workforce services to disadvantaged clients needing quality employment now 
to prevent or overcome crisis from over fifty (50) different zip codes across the Valley through five (5) 
locations and partnerships with over ninety (90) organizational and government partners, and dozens of 
private-sector employers, ensuring SJW's ability to reach and serve populations in and around SJW's 
service areas as well as maintain knowledge of the labor market and partnering organizations' services. 
SJW serves anyone with a willingness to work and does not discriminate based on age, race, ethnicity, 
disability, or any other area and all SJW locations are ADA compliant. SJW's locations are as follows, all of 
which are in areas where employment is ample, on Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Qualified 
Census Tracts and Opportunity Zones, and in regions where the majority of the population is living below 
150% of the poverty level: Central Phoenix, Northwest Phoenix, Downtown Phoenix (on the Human 
Services Campus), Glendale, and Mesa (serving South Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa). 
SJW's intensive workforce development and case management program first identifies and breaks unique 
barriers to employment, then provides connections to quality employment opportunities, and finally, 
supports clients' journeys in maintaining or upskilling employment. The goal of the program is to assist 
those who want to work in finding stable, quality employment to prevent them from and/or move them out 
of homelessness, poverty, or further crisis. Specifically, SJW does this by: 
1.
Assessing and addressing each client's unique barriers to employment, needs to become
employment ready, current skills, and their desired occupation/career. This is done through one­
on-one coaching with a dedicated SJW Employment Specialist who provides access to information
on various occupations and options (including in-demand industries) and services depending on
the unique clients' needs, including but not limited to; access to a computer, internet, a phone and
a mailing address; online job search and application support, resume development, mock interview
practice, financial literacy education; one on one coaching on career exploration and planning, and
labor market information in industries including in-demand industries; purchasing or providing
professional attire and uniforms, bus passes and gasoline cards, certification fees, tools; and a
sincere belief in a client's ability to be successful in gaining quality employment that leads to self­
sufficiency. All clients served agree to a career/occupation plan and are supported as needed by
their dedicated SJW Employment Specialist. All SJW program staff are certified in resume creation
and financial coaching and provide case management services as needed (sometimes in

SERIAL# 220151-RFP 
collaboration with partnering agencies to ensure non-duplication of services, this is done mostly on 
the Human Services Campus location). Additionally, some SJW program staff either have come to 
SJW from the staffing industry or have come to SJW from the human resources industry, bringing 
with them beneficial knowledge that is then shared amongst team members. Combined, SJW's 
program staff have over thirty (30) years of experience working in career planning and assisting job 
seekers who are homeless, low-income, and disadvantaged (and/or disproportionately affected by 
the Covid-19 pandemic). 
2.
Connecting clients to quality employment opportunities (SJW defines 'quality employment' as
opportunities providing a livable wage, benefits, and opportunities for upskilling/advancement; in­
demand industries are encouraged and provided to clients whose career plan, desires, and skills
align, and/or to clients who are in need of upskilling) leading to economic self-sufficiency. SJW's
formal and informal Preferred Business Partnership program works alongside the Employment
Without Barriers Program by partnering with local businesses that believe in SJW's mission, want
to hire our clients to fill their staffing needs, and want to provide quality employment that in turn
decreases homelessness and poverty rates in Maricopa County. These businesses are willing to
pay their employees at least $15 per hour to start, or, are willing to hire those who have been
disproportionately affected by the Covid-19 pandemic Uustice-involved, homeless, impoverished,
low-income, and those in recovery) and commit to working with them to upskill to at least $15 per
hour within the first few months of employment. Preferred Business Partners currently include
employers in the following industries: trades, construction, customer service, social services and
healthcare, 
warehousing, 
administration and waste, 
food 
service, 
hospitality, 
trades,
manufacturing, information technology, and to those who qualify and do not have a criminal
background (SJW serves approximately 40% justice-involved clients), finance and insurance.
Through the Preferred Business Partnerships as well as through representation on the Maricopa
County Workforce Development Board and staying up to date with economic data, labor data, and
Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) data SJW's program directors and executive director
are regularly kept abreast of the labor market trends, hiring needs and trends, and in-demand
industries and jobs, and are continuously advocating for SJW's clients and creating connections
with worthy businesses. In particular, through deep partnerships with employers, SJW has learned
that employers need workers now to fill their openings and ensure their businesses can continue
running. Due to the shortage of workers, SJW has also seen that employers are offering benefits,
rates, and options for workers like never before. This has greatly benefitted SJW's clientele,
allowing job seekers to gain work they would not have otherwise had to option to gain.
3.
Empowering clients to maintain quality employment or upskill to quality employment by further
assessing or creating a career plan, and offering barrier-breaking resources, direction,
encouragement, and direct access to quality employment opportunities (in-demand industries are
encouraged and provided for those clients who create a career plan that aligns). SJW Employment
Specialists maintain relationships with their caseload of clients for as long as needed and
encourage clients to further utilize SJW's services should different or better employment be
required, ensuring long-term placements and improved employment outcomes.
4.
Offering SJW's Workforce Villages program to break the number-one client-cited barrier to
employment: stable housing. Workforce Villages offers transitional housing to clients who are
employed and homeless, providing a supported housing solution to empower successful
independence through working.
SJW's program staff remain connected with employed clients for a year or more to ensure further success 
through the provision of additional resources, coaching, and upskilling into better jobs and/or into in-demand 
industries. Throughout the entirety of the relationship, details of all services provided by SJW are tracked 
through the utilization of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and SJW's internal 
tracking database, Salesforce, and comply with client confidentiality and reporting needs.

SERIAL# 220151-RFP 
SJW's main location is located on the Human Services Campus (HSC) in downtown Phoenix, serving the 
single adult homeless population and providing proven workforce development and employment services 
focused on removing all manner of barriers to becoming and staying successfully employed. Throughout 
the over three (3) decades since SJW's inception, SJW has successfully innovated within the mission to 
provide more or better workforce development services to job seeking clients and has expanded well 
beyond the Human Services Campus' reactionary workforce development services. In 2016, SJW began 
the first-ever mobile employment office in Arizona (the MSU, or Mobile Success Unit, a thirty-nine (39) foot 
retro-fitted RV equipped with internet, computers, printers, professional clothing, and a dedicated 
Employment Specialist) so clients beyond the Human Services Campus and partnering locations could be 
served through outreach workforce development services and so SJW could identify high-needs areas in 
the community where the program was needed, eventually leading to opening SJW's independent offices 
in 2019 and 2020, outlined below. The MSU nearly doubled SJW's service numbers and allowed SJW's 
agency and community partnerships to reach over ninety (90) partners serving mutual clients. Since then, 
multiple municipalities, organizations, and cities have replicated the Mobile Success Unit due to its success 
in reaching clients beyond brick-and-mortar offices. More recently, SJW identified an opportunity to prevent 
poverty and homelessness before it can begin through employment and through MSU outreach efforts, and 
in 2019 and 2020 SJW opened two independent locations in high-needs areas in Central Phoenix (5800 N. 
191h Avenue, serving central, north, and west Phoenix) and Mesa (1833 W. Main Street, serving Mesa, 
Tempe, and South Scottsdale) to provide preventative workforce development services to those on the 
verge of poverty or homelessness, and eliminating a barrier for clients to access SJW's services (client­
cited barrier was going through other organizations offices or having to be referred to SJW by other 
organizations first). SJW's independent locations are coordinated entry sites and all SJW locations help 
individuals who have been diverted by providing employment services and supported pathways to self­
sufficient housing. 
Additionally in 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic's disproportionate effect on the homeless, the 
impoverished, and the disadvantaged population as well as identifying a growing demographic of individuals 
experiencing homelessness for the first time, SJW again innovated within the mission to launch a pilot 
initiative, Workforce Villages, which provides better services to clients through employment and addresses 
the extreme lack of affordable housing in Arizona and the number one client-cited barrier to employment 
(adequate housing). Workforce Villages provides a supported, temporary, transitional housing option rooted 
in maintaining employment and moves homeless, employed clients from the streets to independence 
through the power of work. The pilot for this program, launched in August 2020, showed a 71 % success 
rate in moving clients from the streets to independent housing within an average of sixty-two (62) days and 
with $3,000 in savings. All clients who become employed are screened for eligibility and interest in the 
program and are internally referred to the Workforce Villages team if the client meets the basic requirements 
and expresses a willingness to participate. 
Through workforce development services on the Human Services Campus and through SJW's independent 
offices, since the onset of Governor Ducey's "Arizona Back to Work" and in conjunction with waning 
unemployment benefits, SJW has served 2,920 disproportionately affected individuals into quality 
employment. SJW anticipates serving at least six thousand (6,000) disproportionately affected job seekers 
in the fiscal year 2021/2022 (July 1 to June 30) and further anticipates high levels of service as the next 
fiscal year approaches and as employees continue to rethink careers and the new employment landscape 
forms in a post-pandemic era. To maintain high-quality levels of navigation services for disproportionately 
affected and disadvantaged job seekers, as well as meet the high demand for SJW's unique and effective 
workforce development services, SJW is requesting support for 55% of the proven workforce development 
and case management program to provide the following performance measures each year: 
SJW'S ANTICIPATED PERFORMANCE MEASURES: 
Number of persons provided navigation services: 6,000

SERIAL# 220151-RFP
