LARS' Self-Sufficiency Program provides more intensive case management/mentoring to up to 10 stabilized and motivated households who work closely with a LARS case manager over the course of 3-5 years to maintain permanent housing, improve financial habits, gain employment, and remove other barriers to self-sufficiency.
