Workforce Solutions Capital Area will receive a financial boost—to the tune of nearly half a million dollars—from Travis County. The area nonprofit that supports workforce development for low-income clients is facing a deficit as it seeks to expand facilities to meet community needs. “Our only choice this year was to cut services as we look to expand our facilities,” CEO Tamara Atkinson said. Workforce Solutions has already trimmed 20 percent of its 2019 budget—or about $1.7 million, Atkinson said. The money was removed from client services in order to finance the relocation of the organization’s north campus. However, prior to county action Jan. 29, the group was short some $1.1 million for the facility relocation.
