Free Legal Clinic and Job Fair in October

miguel-workshop-flyerThe Verna’s H.E.L.P. Foundation  and the CAW CLARK LEGAL Clinic, with Co Sponsors – Dallas URBAN HEALTH and VERNA’S VENTURE’S LLC,  is inviting the Dallas Metro Community to a free Diversified Legal Clinic and Job Fair- Oct 15 and 17, at the Good Street Baptist Church, 3110 Bonnie.
 
The upcoming October event- The Legal Clinic and Job Fair, is a two day event. Saturday, Oct. 15, the Legal Clinic,  attendees will be able to discuss, one on one with Probate, Tax, and Criminal  Attorneys, Judges,  Dallas County D. A. Attorneys, Dallas County Probation Consultants and other legal professionals,  to assist with any or all questions about their legal concerns. Private conference rooms will be available for each concern. 
At this legal clinic Dallas Veterans Affairs will have consultants to assist many veterans about benefits and the HUD-VASH PROGRAM (A HUD Housing program) and to discuss information to veterans that need help with housing.
The annual Job Fair Monday Oct. 17, 8:a.m to 5:p.m., will host numerous employers/agencies to promote and recruit for  job opportunities.   We are inviting many Dallas’ Business Owners, Manufacturers, Hospitals, and Retailers to help sponsor this job fair, with intentions of each employer to interview and hire eligible participants on that day. 
 
This event we are inviting all races of people, those with many years of professional, clerical and warehouse experience.  Also people with moderate, criminal offenses – felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions.   We ask that the employers would consider interviewing and/or hiring on that day. 
 
We’re encouraging employers to consider “The Work Opportunity Tax Credit” (WOTC) is a Federal tax credit available to employers who hire individuals from eligible target groups with significant barriers to employment. Each year, employers claim over $1 billion in tax credits under the WOTC program. The success and growth of this income tax credit for business is beneficial for all who participate, while increasing America’s economic growth and productivity.
  • WOTC reduces an employer’s cost of doing business, requires little paperwork, and applying for WOTC is simple.
  • WOTC can reduce an employer’s federal income tax liability by as much as $9,600 per employee hired. • There is no limit on the number of individuals an employer can hire to qualify to claim the tax credit.
