Community LINC provides transitional housing for families experiencing homelessness in one of 27 on-campus apartments. We are seeking volunteers to decorate these apartments before new families move in, making them into a home to be proud of.
Our apartments act as a safe place for families to reset and grow out of homelessness, and our decorator volunteers use Community LINC's supply of kitchenwares, home goods, and decor to ensure our apartments are as comfortable as possible.
This is a great opportunity for those with a keen eye for design, families looking to become active in the community, and those who know the value of a beautiful home!
Volunteers interested in decorating apartments will be put into an email list, and contacted whenever open shifts are available (once or twice a month on average).

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.
