Community LINC provides transitional housing for homeless families with it's six, three story apartment buildings. Families can stay in our apartments for up to four months while finding long term housing. When families leave for long term housing, we use Apartment Prep Teams to help us prepare the apartment for the next families.
Apartment Prep Teams: Consist of 4 to 8 volunteers who help us make the apartments 'move in ready' by rearranging furniture, hanging pictures, performing light cleaning, and adding personal touches to make the apartments as welcoming as possible. Volunteers do not need to purchase or provide anything as we have all the needed items on campus.
We strive to prepare our apartments as quickly as possible so other families can move in. Our Apartment Prep volunteers often have less than one week's notice.
When a family moves out and an apartment is vacant, we issue a request for volunteers from our Apartment Prep Teams database. Volunteers who are able to help within the week are used. Those who are unable, remain on the list for future opportunities.

Mission Statement
We aim to end homelessness for this generation and the next by providing transitional housing to homeless families.
Description
Community LINC's transitional housing program was created to equip homeless families with new skills to sustain themselves with little or no public assistance. We provide a safe, stable environment for families while they participates in strengths-based case management services, mental health counseling, life skills training and budgeting.
Each family lives in an apartment at no cost. However, everyone is required to save a minimum of 50% of their income. Weekly classes focus on employability, budgeting and life skills. We work to transition our families into permanent housing.- Some of the services provided in our program include:
- Life Skills/Parenting Classes
- Personal Budget Coaching
- GED Tutors and College or Vocational Support
- Employment support
- Assistance with finding permanent housing
