• Case management.
• Transportation assistance.
• Referrals to various community agencies including those for employment, education, childcare, food pantries and food assistance, and other life skills such as budgeting and credit counseling.

All services provided are to ensure general housing stability for the client and promote general welfare. Clients are encouraged to participate in the program fully. Success within the program is solely dependent on the client’s willingness to set and achieve goals which are put in place upon entry into the program.
