Metropolitan Family Service has provided the Ways to Work Program in the Portland Metropolitan area since 2004 and Southwest Washington since 2011. We have provided 430 loans, and lent almost 2 million dollars since starting the program. We have experienced many changes over the last year, as we have transitioned away from being a member of a national program model to operating our own program in partnership with a local credit union, Point West. We continue to have strong interest from program participants to fill our program slots. As of October 10th we have filled all of our slots in the program. We do not yet know when more slots will be available in the program but are hopeful it will be sometime in 2017. We are continuing to encourage participants to call in so that we can add them to our program waitlist as it helps us to know program demand when we speak to funders. We will continue to keep you updated on our program status as things develop over the coming months. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.

As if being in a traffic jam weren't annoying enough By David Kiefaber Uber is doing huge business in Mexico City, to the point where they feel comfortable using drones to taunt people who aren't using their service yet. A recent ad stunt for UberPOOL saw the company fly drones over gridlocked traffic. The drones carried signs saying things like "Driving by yourself?" and "This is why you can never see the volcanoes." That last one only makes sense if you know how polluted Mexico City is. The point is to guilt the reader into carpooling with the UberPOOL. (That won't get you anywhere faster, of course. In fact, you might wait just a little longer for your ride.) I'd hesitate to call Uber's global expansion strategy "world domination," but it's not too far from that. After all, their valuation is based on the promise that they will be the premiere ridesharing app on Earth, and they just gave up on China for now, so they're courting Latin America—where they've already had some success in Mexico and Brazil—with gusto. None of that really justifies heckling people with drones, but it's irksome in the same way that an unlicensed cab company hailing itself as some kind of revolutionary act is irksome, so it's totally on-brand for Uber. http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/uber-putting-ads-drones-and-having-them-taunt-drivers-stuck-traffic-174136
