Marquita “Q” James
Q came to CSL seeking rental assistance, in fear of losing her housing and becoming homeless for the second time in her life. She was sharing a one bedroom apartment with several family members and felt stuck and unsure of how to gain independence.
Q struggled to keep jobs due to her lack of job history, longevity, and experiences. In April 2023, she began working for the Independence T.O.G.E.T.H.E.R program. “CSL had trust in me and wanted to see me better myself and make a comeback” she says.
Through this program, Q obtained employment, received a daily paycheck, opened her first bank account, and moved into an apartment. In November 2023, she enrolled and began in the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) program through CSL’s WorkLife Center. Q was connected to the training institution and provided a scholarship for her tuition. She was assigned a dedicated Career Development Coach who provided CSL’s wraparound services, including transportation, food and nutrition, and uniform necessities. Within three months, she completed the CNA program, passed her required exams, and gained employment as a CNA at a hospital!
“I didn’t see myself going back to school for anything! Going back is something I am still shocked about. This gave me the chance to really turn myself around and get set up for my future. I never would have been able to work as a CNA without the endless help from CSL.”
