Housing Help When You Need It Most.

Finding safe and stable housing can be one of the biggest challenges for students balancing school, work, and personal responsibilities. Fortunately, there are local programs dedicated to helping young adults and families secure affordable housing and supportive living environments.

These organizations offer transitional housing, case management, life skills coaching, and connections to community resources, all designed to help individuals build independence and long-term stability while they pursue their education and career goals.

For any additional questions, reach out to Ashley Garrison at agarrison@ccmcc.edu.
