Our Family Housing program provides temporary housing and support to families facing homelessness. The program helps to support families to find permanent housing solutions removing the barrier of homelessness by helping them move toward self-sufficiency. In addition to housing support, we offer courses in parenting, financial management, career coaching, and personal development. Upon graduation, families have established savings and steady employment.
