Homeless No More is one of the few programs in the region that serves all kinds of families, including fathers and boys over the age of 12. As long one adult has legal custody of at least one child under the age of 18, Homeless No More can direct families to make an initial appointment, complete an assessment, and then accepted families will be directed to the appropriate services.
Homeless No More supports residents of Richland County.
