Stabilization

• Continued support and wrap-around services to families

• Families are free to call FPSC at any time after they leave the program.

• Continued support includes goal setting, budgeting assistance, using our laundry facilities, obtaining supplies when the paycheck runs out before the month, and moral support.

​

Shelter

• We have funds provided on a case-to-case basis to place families for a limited time in local motels.

• Families can enter one of our three transitional housing units, when available, where the families agree to participate in case management and pay housing expenses based on their income. The Case Manager works with the families to create a plan to reduce barriers and achieve goals related to employment, budgeting, and secure housing.
