The city of Saratoga Springs is reaching into a whole new segment of the population to find employees.
The program is called “Helping Hands.”
DPW Commissioner Jason Golub needs workers, and he’s offering a helping hand to people who need a home and a job.
The goal for this summer is to have four people who are unhoused on the city’s payroll, and more than that next year.
It’s a part-time job, but the hope is it will help put people on the path to full-time employment.
