During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
To end homelessness, impact poverty and remove barriers to self-sufficiency for the families we serve.
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 up to 24 months while the family participates in strengths-based case management services, mental health counseling, life skills training and budgeting.
Each family lives in an apartment, utilities paid, at no cost. However, everyone is required to save a minimum of 50% of their income (1) to reduce the rent or utility debt that prevents them from obtaining permanent housing and (2) to save for rent and utility deposits or a down payment on a home. All unemployed adult residents secure jobs through our in-house employment office. Weekly classes focus on employability, budgeting and life skills. During these sessions, volunteers and staff work with each resident to facilitate the transition into independent housing and long-term stability.
