JUST AS IMPORTANT, FAMILIES DEVELOP THE PLANS AND SELF-CONFIDENCE NEEDED TO SUSTAIN THEIR HOUSING AND NEW LIFE SKILLS LONG-TERM. OUR PROGRAM MANAGER MATCHES TRAINED ADULT SUPPORT TEAM AND CARING SPONSOR VOLUNTEERS WITH PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO TEACH AND CELEBRATE PROGRESS IN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT, PLANNING SKILLS, AND INDEPENDENT HOUSING ATTAINMENT. THESE VOLUNTEERS MEET WITH THEIR FAMILY WEEKLY AND FOCUS ON BUDGETING, GOAL SETTING, RESOURCE LINKING, AND TIME MANAGEMENT.
