Our Programs

We provide a continuum of housing services for individuals and families, from those who are homeless or housing insecure to those who are considering homeownership. We offer services that help people across the housing spectrum.

The mission of Community Link is to help people obtain and sustain safe, decent and affordable housing.

Homeless to Housing

Our Homeless to Housing program focuses on solutions to get people into safe, decent housing. We utilize a housing-first approach to ensure all customers are housed as soon as possible:

Rental Assistance: rental assistance if available to eligible clients (often earning 0 – 30% of the Area Median Income or AMI) and when funds are available. Contact us today to talk to our intake team.

Travelers Aid: a free service that aids people in transit who are in distress. We often serve people fleeing domestic violence, people returning from incarceration, and people exiting medical programs.

After securing stable safe housing, we encourage all of our Homeless to Housing customers to enter our Asset Building program. However, anyone can take advantage of the Asset Building program.

Asset Building

Our asset building program provides classes and counseling services for individuals and families to become—and stay—a homeowner:

Get the Facts: this is the first step for anyone interested in buying a home but doesn't know where to start. This is a free educational and introductory class for those interested in our program before committing the Financial Empowerment program.

Financial Empowerment Program: After taking Get the Facts and paying for the Financial Empowerment program, you will gain access to additional classes on how to access down payment assistance, improve credit scores, and make smart choices when choosing a home and a lender. Classes also cover the ongoing costs of homeownership, such as mortgage payments, insurance, and maintenance. We offer one-on-one counseling sessions for customers throughout the home-buying process.

Free Tax Preparation: Seasonal tax preparation and filing assistance through our VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program.

Foreclosure Prevention: We offer free support to help you keep your home and avoid foreclosure. Don't wait- contact us today.
