| The Virtual Call Center Program services our homeless and returning citizens who live in shelters, or on the street.

Our constituents are: homeless (51%) of the population served, formerly incarcerated (49% of the population served), residents who live in digital deserts, individuals earning less than 200% of federal poverty-level income, unemployed/underemployed, and seekers of self-sufficiency. | $0 | $17,655 |
