Support Services Offered

Break the Cycle

In addition to affordable housing options, the Front Door Agency’s Transformational Housing program provides an array of support services to help single mothers recover from homelessness and work toward independence.

Case Management

Case management provides a wide range of programs and services to help participants in our Transformational Housing Program develop successful tools that lead to economic and emotional independence and self-sufficiency and help break the cycle of poverty. Every family that enters the Transformational Housing program needs different supports, and personalized case management helps families overcome the root of their homelessness.

Life Skills Training

We recognize that helping a family down the path to self-sufficiency and maintaining housing stability often takes more than simply providing housing. Life skills are crucial tools that enable participants to become empowered. Developing these skills as part of a larger goal of self-improvement and understanding, individuals are able to break the cycle of poverty.

Families in Transformational Housing are offered programming in the following areas:

  • Intensive case management to increase skills and confidence in the areas of; time management, budgeting, health and wellness, mental health, educational goals, employment, pride in home and financial stability.
  • Individual and group therapy opportunities for crisis support, stress management, coping skills and self-awareness skills to enhance individual growth.
  • Workshops and social opportunities
  • Parenting groups and individual parenting supports for those who need help coping and disciplining their children in an effort to provide positive interactions and reinforcements.
  • Financial literacy to help rebuild credit, pay debt and begin the process of saving toward independence.
