Work-able households may be required to participate in the THRIVE program. The purpose of the program is to provide households with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to achieve financial stability and, when possible, economic self-reliance.
Career Plan
Participating households work with a Community Support Specialist (CSS). CSSs provide support and guidance to households in setting up individualized plans. The plans include developing a series of goals the household agrees to achieve over the next three years, the “Individualized Action Plan”. Each goal within the plan relates to a set of skills or needs within five core areas:
GOAL 1
Household Stability
GOAL 2
Wellness & Healthy Relationships
GOAL 3
Education & Training
GOAL 4
Financial Management
GOAL 5
Employment Stability
Development Grants & Rent Credits
KH provides two incentives to help participating households attain their goals. Development Grants are provided to help offset the costs associated with some goals, such as education-related expenses. Rent Credits provide households who attain a milestone or goal a temporary reduction in the tenant share of the rent. A Rent Credit is typically a portion of one month’s rent. The value of the Development Grants and Rent Credits are determined annually based upon available funding.
