About
The REACH Center exists to equip individuals to secure gainful employment, prevent homelessness, and break the cycle of violence through education, skills development, and connections to community resources. Our vision is simple- to build safer communities where individuals are stronger, families are supported, and income is sustainable. We believe in a holistic development model which focuses on critical areas of life development. These include education, employment, financial, health, housing, mental health, recreation, relationships, spirituality, transportation, addictions, legal, and community service.
​
Our comprehensive intake process, Apricot, is fully automated and allows us the capabilities to provide electronic agency referrals, track services, data collection, and reporting. Our intake process assists us in developing out programs and services around homelessness prevention, alleviating poverty, workforce preparedness, food access, education, and domestic violence and human trafficking prevention.
