A non-profit 501 (C)(3) organization, Operation Fresh Start has provided comprehensive employment and training services to 6,000 youth and adults in Dane County, Wisconsin, since 1970. The organization's chief training approach is to renovate or construct single family houses for sale to low and very-low income first-time homebuyers. One hundred and fifty houses have been completed to date. The housing sites are the vehicles for employment training and are at the center of a comprehensive program of educational and support services. Instruction in basic skills and preparation for the high school equivalency examination, instruction in independent living skills, leadership development, counseling, pre-employment skills training, placement in a job or post-secondary education, and supportive follow-up are vital components of the program.
