Worksystems, Inc wants to ensure nonprofit service providers in the community are equipped to handle the flood of dislocated workers and struggling families that are seeking help. 

   As a result, Worksystems has set up a $200,000 Layoff Aversion Fund available to community-based nonprofit employers that are facing the difficult decision of laying off workers as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

   In this initial round of funding, $76,000 will be made available to Washington County nonprofit agencies, and $124,000 will be made available to Multnomah County nonprofit agencies to help avoid layoffs. 

   Worksystems has also been collecting information and is developing a crisis response and recovery effort.
