Families in Transition Volunteer Engagement VISTA
*Goodwill* Families in Transition Volunteer Engagement VISTA
Our mission is to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness. Families in Transition ensures success for our participants as they are exiting homelessness through our case management services. Our experienced case management team works directly with individuals and families exiting homelessness and connects them to services that will support them and promote long-term housing stability. We work to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness by providing the following programs to the Greater Manchester Community: low-income and affordable housing; adult and family emergency shelters (180+ beds); recovery housing for participants in some of our substance use disorder programs; meals for clients in our emergency shelter; a food pantry for low-income households; and homelessness community outreach.
