New project to provide employment opportunities to people with criminal records
A new pilot project is starting in London to help break down barriers to finding employment for people with criminal records. The Fair Chances Employment Pipeline Project was started by the London-area branch of the John Howard Society (JHS) in partnership with Goodwill Industries, which will be employing the project's participants. "We found that so many people with criminal records are really struggling," Taghrid Hussain, the Executive Director of JHS London, said. "They really have difficulty finding employment, and keeping meaningful employment, as well." The pilot project is funded though a Community Vitality Grant from the London Community Foundation (LCF). With donations from families, individuals and businesses, the LCF disperses yearly grants to fund initiatives that meet community needs. LCF often funds pilot projects like this when there's a potential to make a difference, Lori Runciman, the Grants Director at London Community Foundation, said. This year the foundation is providing a record breaking $1.5 million in grants to nine different projects, including this one. A 2024 report from JHS found that Canadian employers have, by and large, excluded qualified applicants with criminal records, regardless of the severity of the offence. This is harmful, according to Hussain, as meaningful employment offers a sense of agency and belonging, as well as an effective barrier against homelessness, addiction and getting stuck in the "revolving door of crime." Through the Fair Chances Project, JHS will refer 30 people with criminal records to Goodwill for job training and onboarding. Then, upon successful completion of training, Goodwill will offer them a job in one of their stores, cafes or warehouses. JHS will be providing individualized support to the participants throughout the process and, after 18 months, they plan to interview all participants and put together a final report on the results. "The idea is to encourage other employers to do the same thing, to start thinking about giving an opportunity to individuals who are justice-involved," Hussain said. Goodwill has the capacity to help in that goal with its 26 retail stores, 44 donation centres as well as career centres, cafes and warehouses across the province, Jessica Justrabo, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Community Impact at Goodwill Industries said. "We're really excited to continue our support for this model because it's what we do best and we came together to really make sure that we are improving outcomes and improving lives in our communities." Goodwill has already worked with JHS over the years and employed people with criminal records, according to Justrabo, but this project was an opportunity to formalize their partnership, she said. Beyond just employment, further support will be also available to participants such as employment counselling and skills development to help them either move up within Goodwill or move on to other careers. The project will hopefully be transformative for many, Justrabo said, but she recognizes that it may not work out for every participant. This is something they are prepared to handle on a case-by-case basis and it would not mean the end of their support. "Everyone's journey is different," she said. "So if they would like to return to the program, if they need a little extra stabilization, if they need a referral to another organization, we're happy to follow and support individuals as their journey unfolds."

2 Top Dividend Stocks Yielding 5% or More to Buy Right Now for Passive Income
Key Points Realty Income is a high dividend payer with a long track record. Vici Properties is perhaps the safest way to bet on Las Vegas. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › Over time, dividends have become a smaller and smaller part of the stock market's total return, with the S&P 500 boasting an average yield of just 1.22% today, compared to 7.44% in 1950. That said, some companies still offer fat, consistently growing payouts, just like the good old days. Let's explore some reasons why Realty Income (NYSE: O) and Vici Properties (NYSE: VICI) could make fantastic long-term picks. Realty Income Corporation Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are a special type of investment that allows retail investors to benefit from the income generated from commercial real estate. But they aren't all the same. Realty Income stands out from the alternatives because of its track record of success, monthly payouts, and unique, risk-minimizing business model. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Since going public in 1994, Realty Income has increased its dividend for 30 consecutive years. The company funds the payout with the cash generated from its portfolio of 15,600 properties spread across North America and Europe. Realty Income's business model is relatively safe because of its use of triple-net leases, which mean the tenant is responsible for building-level operating costs like tax and insurance. It also tends to focus on recession-proof tenants like grocery stores, dollar stores, and auto repair shops, although many flashier clients like casinos and IT data centers have been sprinkled into the mix to help power growth. While macroeconomic threats like high interest rates have caused Realty Income's shares to underperform in recent years, they give investors an opportunity to buy the stock for cheap and lock in a relatively high yield of 5.55% at the time of writing, which is far above the market average. Vici Properties While Realty Income features a long track record and diversification into many different industries, Vici Properties offers more concentrated exposure. The company was formed in 2017 from the spinoff of real estate assets formerly owned by Caesars Entertainment Company during its bankruptcy restructuring. It has since evolved to become a leading entertainment-focused REIT, with 93 properties across North America. While entertainment is a consumer discretionary expenditure that may drop during economic downturns, Vici manages this risk with triple-net leases and high-quality tenants like Caesars and MGM Resorts, which have stable businesses and are deeply tied to their locations. The company has often relied on leaseback sales, which are when it buys an asset (such as a Casino) from a client who needs liquidity or to free up capital for elsewhere, only to rent it back to them, giving Vici access to stable, growing revenue. Vici also offers excellent growth potential as it expands into different asset types, such as golf courses, and potentially redevelops its 33 acres of undeveloped land located near the Las Vegas Strip. With a dividend yield of 5.15%, Vici is an excellent pick for investors who prioritize passive income. But don't overlook its stock price growth potential. Shares have risen around 60% over the last five years, with a 16% rally so far in 2025. The company probably won't stay this cheap for long. Which dividend stock is right for you? Realty Income and Vici Properties are both great picks for investors who prioritize sustainable passive income for the long term. If you could only pick one, the best choice will depend on your investment goals. Realty Income is better for investors who are willing to sacrifice a little growth potential for stability. But while Vici Properties doesn't have as long a track record, it offers more room for capital appreciation. Should you invest $1,000 in Realty Income right now?
