COMMUNITY RESPONSE | CEDARS

Free, voluntary program where coaches work with families for 3-6 months to help navigate and access resources in the community, increase families' protective factors, and problem-solve to address challenges a family may be facing. A coach is assigned to meet with the family and connect them to needed support.

The program offers case management support, mental health services for parents/guardians and children, education support, and some supports to meet basic needs and ensure safety.

Other support includes assistance finding safe, stable housing, connections to local food resources, help applying for benefits and tracking application status, budgeting and employment assistance, and education supports for parents/guardians and children.
