Other Resources
After urgent needs have been met, HHMD focuses on longer term goals to help families gain stability or enhance their quality of life. To address a lack of safe housing for families, HHMD implemented a housing program for families in transition. Additionally, HHMD partners with local companies for employment opportunities which ultimately result in stable employment. After these needs have been met, HHMD can assist with the hurdles of childcare and transportation.
