The Victims of Homelessness - Children

Our work focuses on families with children, who are the unintended victims
of homelessness. Homeless children get
sick and go hungry twice as often as other children. They are more prone to
depression and anxiety and less likely to
do well in school. We help these children
and their families cope with the complex problems they face while we guide families to find permanent, affordable housing. 

Our Emergency Family Shelter program combines a private, safe setting and basic necessities with effective, individualized case management services for homeless families with children. We strive to keep parents and children together as they work toward becoming stable and productive in their homes, jobs, and schools.

Our Homeless Prevention program combines financial assistance with support services to help families with children, who are coming from shelter or facing eviction, find or maintain permanent housing. We direct our families to other services in the community and provide them with household goods as needed. Our goal is to help each family achieve independence.
