Our Project NOAH Adults and Families Program is a cornerstone of our community outreach efforts and stands as a testament to our commitment to provide unwavering support to vulnerable individuals and families facing diverse challenges.
The acronym NOAH stands for No One Abandoned Here reflecting our commitment to leaving no one behind in times of need. Project NOAH provides individuals and families facing vulnerabilities with case management and essential resources such as food and emergency financial assistance, and connects them with relevant support services.
The goal of Project NOAH is to empower individuals and families to overcome challenges and build a better future.

Her case manager also connected Li to essential resources for food and housing, providing a lifeline during a challenging time. Li expressed her gratitude to her case manager saying,
These stories embody the core essence of Project NOAH - offering a lifeline to those who find themselves at their lowest moments. Our dedicated case managers go beyond the call of duty to connect individuals with resources they may not have known were available.
