Our transitional program is different from others because we work very hard to keep families together. A lot of programs just accept women and their children. |
The church has been very helpful in bringing in funds that we put toward our transitional housing. They've recently been really stepping up their involvement. |
We also help families open savings accounts and manage their money. Our case managers help them find child-care opportunities, take care of their medical needs and address domestic-violence concerns. It is a support system to help people stabilize themselves. |
We don't want to put anyone in a position to fail, so we have to make sure they are ready to make that move. |
