The Process

​We see clients in person and conduct a thorough interview process to determine whether or not an individual qualifies for our services. 

​The majority of our services require employment, however please contact us regardless of employment. Before providing assistance, we verify all household information and discuss the client's current needs, household budget, and financial goals. Progress made toward these goals is discussed during each subsequent appointment.
