Assists low income families in creating a goal plan to work towards self-sufficiency. Supports families and provides information, encouragement and referrals to services based on individual goals.
Family Development is a voluntary, home-visiting, strength-based program that assists families in obtaining self- sufficiency. The Family Development Program assists families with finding employment, stable, affordable housing, healthcare and reliable childcare. This program also provides support and advocacy to the families they work with and assists in filling out applications to needed services (HUD, PA/TANF, SNAP for example). This program can also work with families on budgeting, and can at times provide transportation to seek employment and housing.
