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
  • 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.
