“Focus: HOPE Companies is a separate legal entity from Focus: HOPE, the non-profit organization. Unfortunately, these cutbacks in labor are quite common in the automotive industry. Neither Focus: HOPE’s non-profit services nor its employees will be impacted by this action. Our hope is that displaced workers will take advantage of our workforce training programs and services,” said Jason D. Lee, Focus: HOPE CEO.
