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.

The G.R.E.A.T. Youth and Families Therapeutic Afterschool program engages students in academic tutoring and therapy through individualized and group interventions. Our students utilize their strengths and support from staff to develop skills related to frustration tolerance, self-regulation, emotion identification, and executive functioning to further their academic, social, and emotional growth. Our kids are encouraged to show up as their authentic self, strive for their dreams, and HAVE FUN!
