Human Solutions’ programs offer families a comprehensive continuum of programs designed to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty and help them become self sufficient.

The programs and services we offer are designed to help families build pathways out of poverty through 4 interconnected approaches.

Homelessness Prevention Services -Emergency shelters and other housing options
Safety Net Services -Rent assistance, energy assistance
Employment and Economic Development -Job training and placement
Housing Development -Affordable housing portfolio and resident services
