Family Resource Center:
Through the Family Resource Center, we help stretch tight budgets so community members can stay housed by offering a choice food pantry and walk-in services. Families can get assistance with utilities, transportation, personal care items, and housing resources. The SOS Resource Center also is a MiBridges Navigation site so people can get connected to the benefits offered by the Department of Health and Human Services.

The SOS Food Pantry offers free, healthy food to people who need it.
This program makes sure that people do not have to choose between keeping their families housed or fed.

Housing: 
SOS provides temporary shelter for larger families up to three months, with caring, intensive supportive services to help them become stable and find permanent, long-term housing. SOS also offers Rapid Re-Housing (RRH)—a new, nationally recognized model—in which homeless families are moved quickly into permanent affordable housing and receive rental assistance for up to 12 months.  Our housing services are for families with children. For example: a grandparent caring for a grandchild; a single mother or a single father with kids; or two parents with children.

Eviction Prevention:
SOS prevents eviction and the threat of homelessness for people with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. These permanent housing vouchers make rental units affordable for people with very low income but tenants still must pay 30% of their income toward rent. If a tenant gets behind on rent due to missed work or another personal crisis, they could face eviction and lose their voucher forever. SOS helps prevent evictions for these residents by helping them lease up with a landlord who will accept the voucher, find resources to pay overdue rent and utilities, and assist with grievance procedures.
