Family Services
Families enrolled in each of our core programs – Early Childhood Education, Employment Training Services or Housing Services – receive individualized case management through our Family Services program. Each family is assigned a Family Advocate who offers the support and resources needed to gain financial stability and permanent housing.
The Family Services program plays a vital role in Our House’s mission. The support that Advocates provide to parents enables them to overcome homelessness and achieve lasting self-sufficiency.
