Housing & Employment Services
Housing & Employment Services works alongside individuals and families to help them build strong foundations like meeting housing needs to become stable or moving to higher levels of self-fulfillment through case management and employment services.
Housing Services
Emergency Shelter
Our shelter helps individual adults become stable by meeting their basic needs with shelter and food. Those in the emergency shelter also receive assistance obtaining benefits, accessing health care, and locating permanent housing. Once a person achieves stability in the shelter program, Case Management and the Education Employment team will work with them to build on their strengths, and develop a pathway to higher levels of self-sufficiency and self-fulfillment.

Case Management &
Employment Services
Case Management
EECM case management is integral to all of our programs. Case management services help individuals and families meet their basic needs by focusing on permanent housing resources, obtaining income, receiving benefits, accessing resources such as insurance and health care, and connecting to other community-based resources. Case Managers also work to connect people, who call in or come to the facility, with the necessary community resources for assistance with things such as, obtaining IDs, birth certificates and Social Security Cards, finding new affordable housing, locating rental/utility assistance, and many other needs.
Education & Employment (E&E)
The Education & Employment program provides case management, education, housing & employment services for individuals facing the impacts of poverty.
Each participant works one-on-one with the coordinator to develop an individualized employment plan focused on both obtaining and maintaining employment.
