Our impact

Our Mission: To change the lives of underserved residents, one by one, and make a real difference in underserved communities.

THEORY OF CHANGE

What is the Theory of Change?

Project Community Capital's Theory of Change leverages social capital, a collective impact model framework, and technology to change hiring and job-seeking practices. The PCC innovation changes employers' hiring practices by helping them connect with ready workers from low-income communities through a simple-to-use online application. This intervention is designed to ensure that "Ready-to-Work" individuals from low-income communities have the social capital they need to access job opportunities.   PCC informs unemployed people from low-income communities about jobs, prescreens candidates for work readiness, and makes accessing those candidates simple for employers. These activities are critical to changing the current hiring practices of subcontractors.


Employers will no longer need to spend time vetting people after construction starts, nor will they need to hire from government agency referrals.  Employers will simply login to the Workforce Leverage™ application to fulfill their employment needs, making it easier to deliver their construction projects at a lower cost and without significant employee turnover. Low-income individuals' benefit by working for an extended period and employers will not need to expend their valuable and limited time retraining multiple employees for the same job.

Depth vs. Breadth

Project Community Capital® has never tried to deal in breadth. Though we desperately hope to help all disadvantaged and struggling people in every community, we primarily do our work through prioritizing depth, NOT breadth. This means we don't look to employ as many people as possible as quickly as possible – we look to employ the candidates that are ready and support the candidates that aren't, in order to ensure individuals get employed and stay employed. 


This is both because we offer a holistic, human-centered approach, but also because we know that some people need help–not to bounce from job to job. We largely work with WFLC to offer employment barrier removal. We focus on aiding each person in economic elevation, through paying outstanding rent bills, buying candidates work clothes to wear to their new job, driving candidates to interviews, providing free transportation credits, and much more. We pride ourselves upon helping the individual gain momentum and escape poverty. 


For many, it is that one bill, that flat tire, that child support charge or bad day that sends them right back into poverty, into prison, or worse. PCC is their support system on those days. We are that social network that many in disadvantaged communities cannot afford to have. We dive deep, instead of spreading ourselves thin.
