Did You Know?
The Rutgers–Newark Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Studies is currently conducting a process and implementation evaluation for the federally sponsored St. Matthews Neighborhood Improvement Development Association (NIDA). The program aims to improve the economic self-sufficiency of residents by teaching the basics of entrepreneurship, information technology, and work readiness by involving participants in a Handyman Matters franchise. The franchise, which provides customers with handyman services, has a low-cost buy in. The goal of the program is to create employment and business ownership opportunities for low-income people. The initiative serves Essex and parts of Union County and is funded by the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Community Services, a federal program.
