More than 80 job seekers came together on July 16th for the Fort Wayne Housing Authority’s HUD-sponsored JobsPlus Career & Resource Fair, connecting with more than 20 employers and community partners representing over 50 available job opportunities.

Beyond employment opportunities, attendees had access to valuable resources including criminal record expungement services, veteran services, voter registration through the Indiana Secretary of State’s Office, educational opportunities through Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne, HUD resources, career development support, and other services designed to remove barriers to employment.

This event was made possible through the collaboration of JobsPlus, HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development), Fort Wayne Housing Authority, WorkOne Northern Indiana/ WorkOne Northeast, Indiana Career Connect, IMPACT Northeast Indiana, Northeast Indiana Works, and Little Caesars, whose generous donation of pizza helped make the day even more welcoming for attendees.

When community partners come together with a shared purpose, opportunity follows. Thank you to every employer, partner, volunteer, and job seeker who made this event a success as we continue creating pathways to employment, economic mobility, and brighter futures across our community.
