PartnerShift Network (PSN) has proudly served the Great Lakes Bay Region for over 30 years, driving workforce solutions through community partnerships. PSN strives to mitigate barriers to continued employment for the ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) population it serves.
At PSN we believe when individuals can remain employed and businesses benefit from a more stable workforce, it ultimately creates sustainable, vibrant communities. PSN takes a wholistic approach to workforce retention issues by recognizing that it is often the barriers people face at home that jeapordize their employment. PSN provides members of the ALICE population with access to community-based Success Coaches and full wrap-around services at no cost, ensuring that every person who is working and seeks assistance when they hit a bump in the road has someone to turn to. Wrap-around services include financial assistance with major barriers to employment retention such as transportation, housing, and childcare. Participants also receive assistance with budgeting and financial literacy, personal wellbeing, conflict resolution skills, and more. These services lift participants out of perpetual crisis and helps them grow to a place of self- sufficiency.
BRN is a consortium of employers that partner with PSN to leverage resources that ensure their employees’ personal needs are met and therefore, improve workplace engagement and retention.
CWSI is a publicly accessible grant funded program that aims to stabilize ALICE families through Success Coaching and access to wrap-around services. CWSI is available to all ALICE individuals in Saginaw, Bay, Midland, and Isabella County.
