Kessler Foundation awarded a $250,000 Signature Employment Grant to Hudson Community Enterprises (HCE), headquartered in Jersey City, N.J., to advance employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. This Signature Grant is part of the more than $2.7 million in grants awarded by the Foundation in 2011; since 2005, the Foundation has distributed more than $20 million in funding.
HCE is a three-time recipient of a Signature Grant. The Foundation's funding supported the growth of HCE's successful full service document management operation. Now a $5-million company, HCE began with a small shredding business -- Metro Shredding -- and then added Metro Scanning, and Metro Digital Document Solutions.
Today, this social enterprise provides more than 90 jobs with benefits for people with disabilities, and occupies three locations totaling 10,000 sq feet. Individuals undergo a rigorous assessment and nine-week training program to help them succeed as document specialists.
