The goal of WIN is to give people a second chance. For decades, communities, foundations, and individuals have sought ways to take people from welfare to work. While it is clearly too early to say our approach is working, it is not too soon to conclude the attitudes of those in the WIN initiative have changed. Moreover, we have been told by contractors and building trades association executives there is nothing like WIN in the marketplace. As they have said, one can find each of the elements of WIN elsewhere, but no other program combines all of them.
