Job retention rate is far too low, many jobs appear to be those that any student could get without help (retail), fund raising/fund diversity still a major issue, and the cost of the program is too high for the deliverables. New program is a great idea but has no track record. Great utilization of cross-generational volunteers and good goals of program, but safety is a lesser priority than food and shelter. $12,150
