The program, a family focused treatment approach, provides a variety of interventions addressing residents' needs: parenting, vocational and social skills, education, and housing.

The program provides basic services for the mobile poor and homeless of Baltimore City, and transportation vouchers that afford them the opportunity to travel to, and access social services in, communities of their choice.
