To join with other service providers in a community-wide effort to end and prevent homelessness in Santa Cruz County. Families In Transition works in partnership with families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless with housing opportunities and by providing participants with referrals to employment, training and educational resources to assist them in becoming both self-reliant and interdependent members of the community.
FIT’s project serves vulnerable families with children and young adults aged 18-24 who are heads of households and whose income is at or below 30% of Area Median Income for Santa Cruz County. We are fundraising to provide rental assistance, case management, housing navigation, and staffing or to supplement those selected for our Guaranteed Income Project (the latter is aimed at addressing systemic inequities, supporting lasting success, and closing California’s racial wealth gap).
Your contribution will directly impact youth and families in need, providing access to stable housing and the comprehensive support required for self-sufficiency, well-being, and the overall health of our community.
FIT is one of those organizations that is doing things right. Their main focus is helping homeless families with a good program supported by case workers that provide relevant and focused support.
