DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – Since 2006, the Southeast NonProfit Housing Inc. has worked to improve the lives of farmworkers and their families through housing support and workforce development.
Southeast NonProfit Housing Inc. offers career counseling, training opportunities, and job placement services tailored specifically to migrant and seasonal farmworkers. These programs aim to build long-term financial independence by providing on-the-job training, basic skills development, and occupational courses. Employers who participate in these programs may receive wage reimbursement of up to 75% during training periods for skills such as CDL certification and diesel mechanics.
In addition to adult services, they also support youth through mentoring, alternative education options, and internships. Programs focus on leadership development, financial literacy, and career readiness to help youth transition into higher education or the workforce.
The organization maintains office locations in Alabama (Cullman, Dothan, Mobile), Georgia (Douglas, Moultrie, Valdosta, Vidalia), and North Carolina (Clinton, Lumberton, Rocky Mount, Statesville). Career centers serve farmworkers across all three states.
Southeast NonProfit Housing Inc. partners with educational institutions, government agencies, non-profits, employers, and housing developers to create impactful, community-driven change. Officials say collaboration is key to empowering farmworker families and strengthening local communities.
