Year, State Incorporated:
1980, TX

CCSC
through the following programs:
* Emergency Services operates two locations in central and southwest Houston. The program addresses the community’s basic needs by providing food, financial assistance and referrals to
persons in crisis. This effort includes helping families avoid homelessness or substandard living conditions, and providing medical assistance for eyeglasses, dental services and prescription
medication.
* JobNet helps job seekers through skill-building workshops, computer training, job leads, resume development, and access to office equipment. The program’s individualized design increases clients’
skills and confidence, especially those who face employment barriers including limited education, lack of computer skills and transportation challenges.
* Back To School provides underserved students (pre-K to 12th grade) with comprehensive school supplies and new
school attire to prepare them to achieve academic success.
* Martha’s Way is a 42-hour residential housekeeping training program designed to teach women and men to become entrepreneurs in the field of housekeeping. Job leads are shared with graduates, helping them
to launch their businesses.
* Jingle Bell Express provides children from low-income families with new toys and books for their Christmas celebrations. Each of the families also receives a food package for this special time of year.
This uniquely designed program offers three layers of services (toys, books and food) to address the needs of play, literacy and hunger.
* Louise J. Moran Vision Care partners with local schools and the University of Houston School of Optometry to provide vision-screening services and prescription eyeglasses to students in need in
grades pre-K to 8.
*Professional Home Caregiver Training Program prepares people for careers as nonmedical caregivers assisting older adults and people with disabilities with activities of daily living. The 50+ hour training covers a variety of topics including technical skills,
dementia education, relationship-building and more. CCSC supports participants after graduation through job leads, continuing education and coaching.
