The Scenario

You’re about to offer “John” a job. You know he’s right for the job – what you don’t know is that he is in transition. You call him with the good news:

Without CVM

This is what you hear:

The number you are trying to reach has been disconnected...

Result:

A lost opportunity

With CVM

This is what you hear:

Hi. This is John. I can't take your call right now, but if you leave a message...

Result:

A new job

How do you get a job without a phone? A place to live? Safety from domestic abuse?
You don’t. Access to a telephone is a basic survival tool...and often one we don’t think of.

Community Voice Mail is a simple and effective solution to a complex problem – how to help people in crisis and transition stay connected to the very tool they need most: a constant telephone number.
