Family & Community Services
"
With deep roots in the neighborhoods we serve, we help build strong families and vibrant communities. Using a person-centered approach, we focus on the entire family’s needs – providing access to counseling; community centers; and literacy and after school services that support family life. We provide individuals and families who are homeless with a safe place to stay.
