Our residential programs help move individuals and families toward greater levels of independence.
EMERGENCY SERVICES:
Transitional
Services
Some families are interested in and
will benefit from ongoing staff support once they
find stable housing in the community.
Transitional support for families
is available to qualifying households.
Programs provide staff advocacy and
resources to a family for a year or two following
their departure from shelter.
The program is based at Family Housing
Program, though families reside in residences throughout
Lane County.
When appropriate, the program coordinates
with other county programs to find additional resources
for families on their journey to success.
ShelterCare is cosponsor of the LifeLine
Financial Education Partnership "Difficulty budgeting" is a pressing concern for families in our community as identified by
a recent United Way assessment. Lifeline is
an educational program designed to help people with
money and budgeting problems.
Lifeline also provides access to
legal advocacy, case management, and financial services
for families struggling to pay monthly bills.
The program includes four weekly
classes and one-on-one skill building sessions.
Both settings include work and households
to set financial goals, assess spending patterns,
create a functional budget, and develop strategies
to address ongoing financial challenges.
Lifeline is a collaborative effort
of ShelterCare, O.U.R. Federal Credit Union, Housing
Authority and Community Services Agency of Lane
County, and the Lane County Law and Advocacy Center.
