The Supportive Housing Program

The ECS Supportive Housing Program brings together:
  • A low-income family who are committed to making change in their lives.
  • An experienced case manager from Episcopal Community Services.
  • A faith-congregation in partnership with Episcopal Community Services.
  • A group of individuals from that faith-congregation committed to supporting families in need.
  • A volunteer mentor willing to make a personal investment in the life of a family.
  • A rental subsidy and various practical resources provided by the faith-congregation.
While in the program, participant families work to:
  • Locate stable, affordable housing
  • Stabilize the family budget.
  • Employ strategies to improve economic self-sufficiency.
