We provide a continuum of basic needs supports like supplemental food and housing assistance in a participant-centered approach so families can overcome obstacles and build lifelong stability, resiliency and healthy habits.  The Strengthening Families impact area includes:

Housing Stability and Homelessness Prevention Assistance

Growing Home prevents family homelessness by stabilizing at-risk families with rent, mortgage and utility assistance, paired with case management that helps families identify root causes of housing instability and develop long-term plans for stable and affordable housing.

Affordable Housing

Growing Home operates 20 affordable housing units.

Food Pantry

Growing Home’s volunteer-run Food Pantry serves hundreds of individuals with fresh, healthy and culturally-relevant foods. Participants can visit the Food Pantry every 2 weeks and everyone can choose food regardless of location or household size. The Food Pantry also offer diapers and family hygiene items as available. Come stop by our Food Pantry Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.  No appointment needed. For more information click here.

Collaborative Coaching

Growing Home offers Collaborative Coaching for long-term family self-sufficiency and economic stability.  Collaborative Coaching is an evidence-based case management system that supports families in setting goals to enhance their stability and creating paths to achieve those goals.  Collaborative Coaching requires a minimum commitment of six months, and families must attend coaching sessions at least monthly.
