Family Support Program

The Family Support Program was designed to assist people to quickly regain financial and housing stability after experiencing a housing crisis. Housing education, financial interventions such as utility and rent and mortgage assistance, and private financial guidance are provided to households at-imminent risk of becoming homeless. 

The Program's Success

The program's success is based on intervention, prevention and education. Case Managers work intensively with families for up to eighteen months to create a plan for the family to become successful and to provide stability. The intensity, frequency and duration of assistance are based on the specific needs of each family.

Data has shown that the program has been highly successful in preventing homelessness in participating communities. Families have reported:
  • Increased housing stability;
  • Increased life-skills capabilities such as household budgeting;
  • Increased school stability for children;
  • Greater capacity to avoid another housing crisis
