I think this is a great program for the community. I was actually speaking to my boss today about a Welfare program they had tried to introduce some years back that completely failed. The idea was to get people on Welfare to start working, and if certain agencies hired said employees then they would be tax exempt. But then the people hired had terrible attitudes towards the program because they didn't want to be at the job or other personal reasons. Bottom line, it was a good idea with good intentions, but since the actual people in the community weren't invested, it just couldn't work. Project QUEST seems like a much better solution because it deals with parties that have their best interests invested and best foot forward.
