About Los Angeles County Fair Chance Hiring

The LA County Department of Economic Opportunity is proud to launch the Fair Chance hiring program, an initiative that brings together fair chance employers and system impacted job seekers through curated information sessions and job matching. This program will show that Fair Chance hiring is not only mutually beneficial to businesses and system-impacted job seekers, it is also an opportunity to follow through on our diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.

With the vision and guidance from the Board of Supervisors, the Department of Economic Opportunity is leading the design and implementation of the Fair Chance hiring program in partnership with LeadersUp, Root and Rebound, and TaskForce. Other key collaborators in this effort include the LA County Department of Human Resources (DHR), the Justice, Care, and Opportunities Department (JCOD) and America’s Job Centers of California (AJCC), as well as our partners and allies in the private and nonprofit sectors. The Fair Chance hiring program is funded by the County’s allocation of the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
