| Statement of Purpose: | Community LINC's mission is to develop self-sufficient families and communities. Since 1988, Community LINC's Transitional Supportive Housing program has provided a tangible measure of hope to homeless families by teaching them skills to fight and win the battle against homelessness in a safe, nurturing and accountable environment. Our program achieves the supporting outcome "People, including the homeless, live in safe, affordable permanent housing." The goal of the Transitional Supportive Housing program is to give our residents a safe, stable home while they learn the budgeting and life skills they need to remain independent when they move on to permanent housing. | ||||||||
