COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS PROGRAM:
Help When You Need It Most
At Community Partnerships, Inc., we have over 30 years of experience in helping people find the help they need. Some of the people we work with are in a crisis situation; others are frustrated because they’re on a waiting list. Many people are fearful because they have been denied eligibility and feel they have
nowhere to turn. The Community Connections program provides short-term, direct services to individuals and families who need help now, but are not yet receiving services.
We can help immediately and our services are free.
