Mountain
area families needing support services and emergency assistance
turn to Mountain Resource Center’s Family Advocacy
Program. In 2006, 1,908 families and individuals utilized
the program’s crisis intervention and case management
services, which provided healthcare, food, shelter, and
utilities assistance, and linkages to other health and human
service organizations. Approximately 45% of these families
reported income at or below federal poverty levels. Many
families were headed by teens, single parents, or the aged.
Past and current programs include crisis and advocacy services,
case management, rent and utilities assistance, and advocacy,
information, and referral.
