Community LINC

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.
