Connections of Cumberland County operates the only “walk-in” Day Resource Center with intensive case management specifically designed to serve women and children who are homeless or facing homelessness. Our goal is to assist our clients to become safe and self-sufficient by collaborating with all homeless services possible. We avoid unnecessary duplication of existing services and collaborate to efficiently leverage available services. Our guiding principle is that every child needs a safe and nurturing environment in order to grow to be a responsible, self-reliant adult, and every homeless mother needs shelter in order to improve her life and the lives of her children.
