What it is

Hands on help with the parts of life that hold recovery up: housing stability, career readiness, money management and crisis support.

Keeping Hopes Alive treats the whole person. Case managers help clients with housing stability, connections to resources, school and job readiness, budgeting and money management, and support during a crisis.

Youth programs teach the same skills in ways that stick: cooking classes with Chef Crystal, financial literacy workshops, and career exposure with community partners. Each week, kids learn a new life skill.

  • Families who need help connecting to resources
