At Housing Families, we believe in the importance of physical and mental health as many children and adults experience trauma through homelessness and poverty. We provide individualized support for families and individuals to help them overcome this trauma, from therapy and counseling services to holistic case management. We also offer a Community Resource Hub, which operates as a food pantry for the families and individuals we serve, while also providing essentials like cleaning supplies and baby formula.

Adults and children who participate in Housing Families’ wellness programs receive individualized trauma support. We help them learn to identify with others, effectively communicate, manage their feelings, develop a positive sense of self, and heal from the effects of toxic stress caused by trauma.
In the Summer of 2021 we opened the Community Resource Hub to provide a number of essentials beyond the traditional food pantry, including food, cleaning supplies, hygiene products and diapers, and more.

Our therapeutic afterschool program is a community of acceptance, learning, and fun for approximately 65 children each year. Children receive individualized trauma-informed academic assistance, counseling, and groups to foster resilience and build the skills needed to excel in school and heal from past trauma. We are also proud to offer support groups and counseling to parents and guardians to serve the whole family.
