We help people who are homeless. The causes of homelessness are many.

Kids

Each year we shelter and feed approximately 180 children. Our Center For Homeless Children and Their Families has a licensed day care program located on site to provide safe care, tutoring and assessment for children while their parents go to work or find work.


At the core of our family programs is our Residential Parenting Education which underscores our emphasis on putting children’s welfare first. This is done through Kids First, counseling and case management.

Families

COTS serves families through our emergency shelter program at the Center for Homeless Children and Their Families, through our Faith Based Shelter, and through our Shared and Transitional Housing. We teach budgeting, life skills and parenting classes as well as provide case management and counseling to prepare families for a home of their own.

Adults

COTS serves approximately 770 single adults each year through the Mary Isaak Center. Rent Right™ and Work Right™ teach people budgeting, work and life skills. These, together with our internship programs, case management and counseling, prepare people for a home of their own.
