The computer coaches also support the educational skills coordinator, the job coordinator and the social worker in ensuring that clients achieve their education and employment goals. All clients of the computer coach are members of low-income, homeless, single parent families who are participants in Philadelphians Concerned About Housing’s Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
