The city of Flint is making plans to assist about a dozen Flint Genesee Job Corps students after the U.S. Department of Labor halted contracts to operate their center and others across the country.

Job Corps program alumni and faculty are anxious about the looming end date as they scramble to provide assistance to students who have also relied on Job Corps for free housing and food.

The Dept. of Labor's abrupt halt to Detroit's Job Corps program disrupts housing and training for at-risk youth.

Job Corps helps at-risk youth ages 16 to 24 improve their lives through vocational and academic training while also providing free education, housing, meals, and healthcare. Without this program, many would not have a career path or shelter. Pastor Mo spoke about one young man and his struggling homeless mother.

The center in Grand Rapids helps youth between 16-24 with housing, an opportunity to obtain their GED/ High School Diploma and a skilled trade.
