Our nonprofit, formerly known as Catholic Community Response Team, is now Christian Community Response Team! This new name reflects the broader Christian support behind our mission to provide emergency housing and essential assistance to those in need

Serving Pontiac Residents in Need:

In Pontiac, many families face significant financial challenges, with nearly one-third of residents and half of all children living below the poverty line. For households already struggling to make ends meet, an unexpected expense such as a medical bill, car repair, or utility shutoff notice can quickly become a crisis, placing them at risk of hunger, homelessness, and other serious hardships.

Getting Ahead Programs:
Are you just “Getting By” and would like to “Get Ahead”?

“Getting Ahead” mission is to shrink the barriers to success posed by economic class differences among people and groups. The program assists those in poverty begin their journey to self-sufficiency. The program is intended to enhance the quality of life for everyone. The program is also built on an evidence-based model and is designed to be sustainable year after year while adapting to the needs of the community. Helping individuals or “investigators” create their own path to a more secure and successful future is our objective.

Our Classes run 8 weeks (16 sessions) meeting 2 half-days a week. Upon completing all sessions, individuals receive a monetary gift and a certificate of completing the program.
