Empowering Today, Building Tomorrow
Homeward Bound’s Empowering Today, Building Tomorrow programming addresses the root causes and effects of homelessness and encompasses case management, youth programs, workforce development and healthy relationships. Our focus is on providing families experiencing homelessness with a layered approach to breaking generational cycles of poverty. As a certified Trauma-Informed Agency, Addressing the trauma families have faced can be monumental in identifying barriers to family stability. Our program components meet a family’s immediate needs, deliver trauma-informed services, and address the varying contributing factors and complex effects of generational poverty in order to improve a family’s long-term self-sufficiency and stability.
Program components include our hybrid emergency and transitional housing, workforce development, youth programs, early learning center, and aftercare program.
Community Programs
HB Beyond: Homeward Bound’s aftercare program for residential clients exiting our campus. When a family is ready to transition out of our program, they are invited to enroll in our aftercare program with regular check-ins to provide individualized resources, invitations to community events, continued access to employment support, and more. HB Beyond also tracks a number of outcomes for families who have exited Homeward Bound. Regular check-ins provide our team with information on a family’s success.
Homelessness Prevention Program - This program is offered to the greater community, aimed to keep families on the brink of homelessness together in their very own homes. The Homeless Prevention program offers a full range of services which include utility and rent assistance, landlord mediation, financial skills education, parenting classes, workforce development, housing navigation, referrals, and other assistance to prevent homelessness and keep families housed.
