ZAMs Hope Community Resource Center

The Alternate Housing Program is a newly launched initiative that began in December 2024. During the year, the organization dedicated time and resources to establishing the program, including the purchase of furniture, supplies, and essential materials needed to support individuals entering the housing system. This program is designed to provide safe, stable, and supportive temporary housing for individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity.

ZAMs Hope CRC provides wraparound services that address the full scope of community needs. Our Senior Citizen Program keeps seniors active and connected through skill-building and intergenerational activities. The Family Emergency Program offers monthly groceries, clothing, and rental or utility assistance for families facing crises like unemployment, medical issues, or domestic violence. We host workshops on housing rights, cyberbullying, safety, financial responsibility, and other community needs. We provide seasonal clothing distributions, holiday support, hot meals for the homeless, and toys for children. ZAMs Hope CRC also helps clients access public benefits, including SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, LIHEAP/CEDA, and Social Security, and offers emergency food packages. Our job training program provides skill assessment, resume and interview support, empl. referrals, and a successful Security Guard training program. Our goal is long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
