Services include:

Case management family coaches actively assist in accessing community resources. They work to help families secure housing, work skills training programs, employment opportunities, transportation, medical services and other needs. These intensive services aim to reduce the time that families remain homeless.

Case managers working in the school system assist students experiencing homelessness in maintaining academic performance and participation in extracurricular activities.

  • Work with community stakeholders to connect families with opportunities that will assist with their transition out of homelessness
