Triangle family services is an organization that offers a number of resources for families in need. Their website states " TFS accomplishes its mission of “Building a Stronger Community by Strengthening the Family” through one of TFS’ focus areas that include Family Safety, Financial Stability, and Mental Health. These direct family services directly impact children from economically disadvantaged and/or abused homes". I chose this resource because a family member used their services to prevent homelessness.

Passage home is an organization that offers resources for families in need as well.
Passage home website states "we come alive when we’re connecting families and neighborhoods to resources and opportunities. Whether we’re helping a struggling family with affordable housing or an addict with recovery, our approach is the same. We meet people where they are and provide them with the resources necessary to gain economic sustainability". I chose passage homes because my mom used their services to help with her drug addiction.

Telamon is another organization helping families in need. Their website states,
"Telamon brings human services to people and communities in twelve states, doing business in two of them as Transition Resources Corporation. Chartered as a nonprofit organization, our purpose is to improve the lives of those in need. We do that through the operation of a diverse array of programs for farmworkers, children from low-income families and other groups with special needs". I chose Telamon because I am a former employee.
