- Crisis management / counseling
- Filing for unemployment
- Finding additional homeless resources
- Credit score building
Our Green Shirts are THRILLED to be back! Here’s what they say…
“Resuming the weekly group has restored the motivation and volition to continue the work and progress towards self-sufficiency. I am thankful to have the opportunity to better myself and my situation.”
