How has Triangle Family Services helped working families avoid losing their homes?
Triangle Family Services provides two essential services to help families avoid homelessness. First, up to $1,500 in direct financial assistance is provided to help pay for rent, food, utilities, and other essential expenses to ensure the family is not evicted from their home. In addition, case managers provide home-based support that helps families learn how to budget, save money, increase their employment and income potential and connect with other community resources. To qualify for these services, each family must have sufficient income to pay for basic expenses (once their financial crisis has been resolved), and have at least one child under the age of 18 living in the home. Over thirty families, including 75 children, in Wake County, avoided eviction from their homes last year after receiving help from Triangle Family Services.
