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
- Some of the services provided in our program include:
- Children's Program:Community LINC developed programming for all children to coincide with the class meeting times of their parents. Children participate in tutoring; group activities; recreation time including field trips and craft projects and individual attention from volunteers. We have play therapy available, with parental consent, for children with special needs.
