Since August 2009 when the Center opened our Emergency Services staff has been busy. Staff is seeing an average of 50 - 60 individuals per day or more. The new Community Resource Center allows the staff to comfortably accommodate clients and continue to provide smiles along with attentive service. We’re still helping the Great Falls population acquire basic necessities, as well as helping them access resources within the community, we’re also looking for opportunities to expand our services. With our new building, new staff, and new name, we’re looking forward to a very bright future helping the community! Located at 1123 Central Ave, 406-216-2300.
In addition to funding from the Community Services
Block Grant (CSBG), ARRA CSBG, United Way, Emergency Food and Shelter
Program and Emergency Shelter Grants, we are presently serving the
community through the ARRA HUD Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing grant (HPRP).
This funding allows us to work with families and individuals for a
longer period of time to mentor, train and re-house those who without
this assistance would be homeless.
Early in 2010 we hope to have
a fully equipped training center at the Resource Center. We will
continue to work closely with organizations in the community to provide
an endless possibility of classes and mentoring. Look for future
announcements.
