How We Do It:
After a referral is received and enrollment takes place, our Home Base trained professionals provide immediate contact with each family. All visits with case managers and other support services occur within the home. The team focuses on anger management, parent education, family counseling, relapse prevention, violence prevention, conflict resolution, positive youth development, and self-esteem building.
Who We Are
Our Preserving Housing program provides homelessness prevention services for families and individuals facing imminent eviction. Our staff assesses the situation. They work with individuals and families to create comprehensive plans that respond to the immanent emergency. And they help avoid future crises. To access rent subsidies and other government programs our caseworkers work with landlords, legal services, fellow community-based organizations and financial management programs.
