The challenge: Young adults need training in basic daily living skills: preparing healthy foods, practicing good personal hygiene, maintaining a clean and safe environment. Many still live at home with their families and don’t have the opportunity to sleep away from home.
The solution: Alink has been working with public and private partners to create a life skills training program that focuses on domestic skills and housing readiness. Ultimately, the program will include a supervised duplex that offers opportunities to sleep away from home on a regular basis while practicing skills in a real life environment.
