We then connect them with the services and programs they need to succeed and become self-sufficient. Greater coordination of services When public, private, community and faith-based programs coordinate to serve people better, it increases buy-in from individuals. We help at every step, rethinking outdated rules and even realigning program missions. Flexible funding of programs We’ll help you consider new blended and braided funding models. These models can encompass partnerships with other programs and sectors, giving you more flexibility to achieve your goals.

Foster personal responsibility rather than force it. We do this by getting everyone from family to the community fully invested – and employing “wrap-around” case management that coordinates many support services, including job training, mentoring, mental health counseling and crisis management.
