• Individualized case management
• Life skills training
• Budget and credit counseling
• Career preparedness and placement
• Housing navigation sessions
It’s not easy, but our clients embrace the opportunity to change their family’s future. We provide our clients a transformational opportunity to better their lives, to change their family’s narrative and to open doors for a brighter future. We meet our families where they are in life, and guide them to discover their potential, by highlighting and supporting their strengths and skills while offering them new resources.

Our Services
Transitional Housing
When you commit to partnering with us, we provide one year of transitional housing paying 30% of your adjusted gross income from your previous month of work. You will be matched with a home according to your family size, accessibility, safety, and transportation needs.
Free Donation Centers
We offer access to our two free donation centers the day your family is accepted into our program. One location offers furniture, mattresses, home décor, and day-to-day clothing, while the other offers hygiene items, a pantry, interview clothing, bedding, kitchen items, and more. All items you receive can be kept when your family moves on from our program.
Personalized Case Management
Each family receives one-on-one casework to help develop a plan to achieve their goals. This plan will vary from person to person, but some common goals include improving employment, education, family well-being, and housing. Caseworkers will also help connect you with any eligible benefits and resources in our community.
Money Mentoring
During monthly appointments with our Money Mentors, you will receive budgeting counseling to improve your finances. Each month, you will have the ability to ask questions about your household budget, spending patterns, and the ability to ask questions about your finances in a nonjudgmental environment. These sessions will help you develop a savings plan and use banking services.
Credit Counseling
During credit counseling appointments, you will have the ability to meet with our Certified Credit Counselor to better your credit and create a plan to do so.
Work-It!
Our job readiness program, Work-It! provides one-on-one sessions with a job coach to focus on improving your resume, practice interview skills, researching training and education opportunities, and searching for improved employment.
Life Skills Classes
Life Skills Classes are offered several times a month and are centered on financial literacy, job readiness, personal growth, health, communication, and stress management. We are adhering to state regulations and are in the process of developing in-person classes.
Technology Support
During your time in our program, we provide WiFi support at no cost, free computer labs, and technology assistance if a family is in need.
Child Enrichment Center (CEC)
We know that childcare can be costly and difficult to find. During all program offerings, we provide on-site childcare through the CEC so that you can focus on achieving your goals. In addition to providing on-site childcare, the CEC offers homework help, movie and game nights, educational computer activities, an outdoor playground, nutritional snacks, holiday celebrations, and more.
Housing Navigation
Halfway through our program, families meet with our Housing Navigator. Our Housing Navigator assists families on their search for housing beyond our one-year program by identifying the key factors landlords will look at when reviewing applications, along with determining what properties make the most sense to apply with based on budget, eligibility, needs, and preferences.
