In December 2015, Jose started working with a job developer at Toolworks. Battling with homelessness and substance abuse problems, Jose began receiving services from Toolworks’ Aging and Adult Disability Resource Center (ADRC). He was referred to substance abuse centers to start his recovery and in less than a month, Jose was offered a part-time job with Toolworks as a recycling sorter, earning $12.25 an hour. Toolworks provided Jose with job coaching services and support in time management, communication skills, and work ethic.
