Community and economic empowerment services the community services program focuses specifically on helping victims achieve both safety and long term economic security. The program includes individual economic advocacy, financial literacy, matched savings accounts, employment planning and a variety of group supportive and educational services. All of our community services advocates work to help support victims as they deal with the practical problems of living that have resulted from the violence and abuse. Cornerstone's supportive housing component, core (centered on results everyday), combines two years of affordable housing and intensive supportive services for 16 families. Core families receive affordable housing as they work with cornerstone staff to address their goal plans, participate in job readiness training, empowerment courses and financial literacy workshops. Our supportive housing specialists also work on-site at two affordable housing complexes, providing advocacy and resources to low-income families in order to help ensure they are able to maintain their housing. Cornerstone's rapid rehousing program served 23 families through the provision of rental and utility assistance, and ongoing supports as they became stabilized.
