Veteran is thankful for the help
Supportive Services for Veteran Families:
My Name is Antoine I was enrolled in the SSVF program as I was homeless and relocated from Texas due to financial struggles and was not able to get back on my feet. SSVF assisted with financial support for housing household and employment items. SSVF provided referrals and resources to help me and my family work towards stability. In that time both me and my wife were able to become employed full time and start reducing our debts and saving money to work toward our goal of purchasing our first home. Without the help of the SSVF program and case management that was provided I would not have been able to be where I am today. My wife and I purchased a home for our family I increased my VA benefits from 10% to 100% and we both are employed full time and doing well.

THRIVES program helps change lives
I stumbled upon CNCAP as a complete stranger one day. The staff were so warm and friendly. They were never to personal with their questions, but only asked the basics and got just enough to build trust and allow comfort to set in. This worked because it allowed me to slow down my nervous system and openly allow another person to lend a hand of support. Without their calm and warm demeanor or I probably would've run again. CNCAP partners with the local domestic violence program and this team due is a Godsend. They work together by giving people a step up so they can thrive and heal. I personally can say I wouldn't be thriving today if it wasn't for a group of beautiful people that gave a stranger a chance. They gave me hope when my mine was fleeting. Thank you CNCAP for being amazing!!

Vet grateful for Vets RRH help
Brian was an army infantry veteran who had gone through alcohol treatment. When he wanted to move out on his own, he contacted CNCAP and inquired about the Vets RRH program. He was able to move into a new place and worked with is case manager to save money and pay off his debt. He learned how to budget his money, had employment at the VA and set goals that supported accountability. Brian shared, "as a veteran in recovery, I was looking for a hand up, not a hand out. I feel that's exactly what I received through this program. Thank you so much"

KIND empowers youth
My name is Jaime and I was a troubled kid that landed myself in juvenile detention at 17 which quickly turned into a prison sentence. When I came back to my hometown, I didn't know how to get my own place. I was a felon, a Latino male, and was covered in tattoos and judged for my actions. I contacted CNCAP for help and even though I looked rough, the case manager recognized the broken kid inside me. We worked on adulting and everything that went with it. She got me in contact with employers that hire felons and I was able to get a good job and saved enough money to get a car. We celebrated each victory and she encouraged me to show my softer side more. She motivated me to start drawing again which helped as a way to show my emotions and was like therapy. I don't think I would have been able to get my life together like I have if it wasn't for the help I got. CNCAP made a huge difference in my life and made me feel like a real person, not just a "Hispanic felon". Now I am expecting my first child, working a full time job and working towards the purchase of my first REAL home. Thank you for that.
