As Constructing a Brighter Future (CBF) enters its second year of operation, we are proud to showcase the incredible progress made through this transformative program. This video, created by the Oregon Workforce Partnership, highlights the collaborative efforts and the positive changes throughout CBF’s first tear. Focused on alleviating homelessness, CBF not only delivers transitional shelters but also serves as a transformative workforce initiative, exposing young individuals to diverse career opportunities within the construction trades. As we step into the 2023-2024 school year, CBF sets forth ambitious goals to broaden its impact across Lane County.
