Community Resource Center

Mission:
The City of Refuge Community Resource Center seeks to empower clients to effect positive change in their own lives, their families and the local community. The goal is to work with the community to identify and share the resources, information and access necessary to achieve and sustain a healthy quality of life.

Vision:
Our goal is first to build intentional and personal relationships with residents of our local community, allowing us to organize and develop the power and resources which already exist within the community.
Secondly, we will seek to develop and grow a network of partner agencies and organizations that can assist the residents of our community, including the homeless, in achieving and sustaining communal sufficiency.

Abstract:
In working to meet the overwhelming needs of the community, the Community Resource Center seeks to provide the best resource available. These resources are administered through a case management approach in which CRC personnel work one- one-one with clients to develop a plan of action that will lead to self-sufficiency. Toward this end, the CRC provides immediate resources, access to COR programming and referrals to partner organizations for assistance.
