| Desc | Better Families prevents child neglect and abuse before foster care is necessary. Our unique model enables parents who have fallen on hard times to voluntarily place their children with a loving host family for up to a year. The average stay is only 41 days, and most placings are 90 days or less. Unpaid and vetted host families focus on caring for the children. At the same time, the Better Together professional team and a network of volunteers help the parents get back on their feet. The Better Families program has served more than 3,200 children with a 98% success rate of keeping them out of government foster care. | Desc |

| Desc | Better Jobs: For nearly 80% of parents served in our Better Families program, crisis began with a job loss. Recognizing that parents cannot achieve self-sufficiency without stable employment, Better Together launched Better Jobs, a first-of-its-kind model for connecting job seekers with employers in partnership with local churches, which organize, host, and promote the events. Our job fairs are far from the norm. Before meeting with prospective employers, job seekers may consult with Better Jobs volunteers for interviewing tips, resume help, and coaching on how they can best articulate their skills. Church-based organizers recruit other assistants, such as volunteer hairstylists, and collect business attire to help attendees look and feel their best. This program is highly scalable. In just a few short years, our organization built a network of 150 churches, which have served 34,000 job seekers in 24 states. | Desc |
