First Step Center
First Step Center serves as the point of entry where our case managers help identify barriers and overcome the problems faced by those in need. By analyzing each individual's unique situation, we help them to achieve the highest level of self-support. Our case managers assist clients with realistic objectives, goals, and referrals to other community resources. Project Understanding guides and supports clients during the process, monitoring their progress and providing a system of accountability and mentorship. Through case management and assistance, we strive to prevent homelessness.
Project Understanding's mission is to try and assist with process of searching for housing/shelter, however the organization does not have any internal housing options.
