When You’d Rather Talk to a Person

Sometimes a guide or a database is not the right answer.

When you need someone to listen, sort through what is going on, and help you figure out the next step, a Community Navigator is who you want.

They help with housing, utilities, food, transportation, mental health, legal aid, and more.

How Our Resources Stay Current

  • Community Navigators maintain the listings. The same team that takes calls is the team that keeps the resources up to date.

  • New resources are added as we learn about them. Outdated listings are corrected.

  • Found a problem with a listing? Send us a message on the Contact Us page.
