RESOURCE: Hiring and Retention
Practices for SSVF Grantees
As grantees prepare for the
increase of funding in FY24, the SSVF Program Office would like to remind you
of a previous webinar about hiring and retention for SSVF Grantees and their
community partners on Thursday, December 16, 2021. This provides uses of SSVF
funds to support hiring and retention with examples of how to attract and
retain talent while creating a diverse workforce. The webinar also
provides examples of what has worked for SSVF grantees to hire and retain
staff.
