Description
ABOUT MATRIX HUMAN SERVICES Matrix Human Services, a 501(c)3 organization, has served the Detroit community and surrounding areas for more than 108 years. The League of Catholic Women led the way in 1906 with a vision and mission to fight poverty. Today our mission remains the same as we continue to touch hearts and change lives in our community. With programs at more than 40 locations, Matrix Human Services serves more than 25,000 individuals and families each year.
Matrix is leading dynamic change across the country in 2014 with our Transition to Success™ (TTS™) Model. This poverty model, implemented across all Matrix programs, coordinates care for basic needs, learning to read, getting an education (including GED and higher education), financial literacy and volunteerism. It has been our vision to have a national model of care that frames poverty as a condition that requires treatment and not a character flaw. That dream is today becoming a reality. We are changing the mindset of community leaders and those we serve by providing a realistic pathway to improved health and economic self-sufficiency.
