Case managers meet the basic needs of people facing crisis situations and help to build long-term stability and independence.

Essential Support Services: UNC provides assistance to individuals and families who are facing food insecurities, need assistance with utilities, or who need help obtaining other basic needs. The agency operates a food and clothing pantry called Angel’s Attic, where those in need can select clothing, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, meats, dairy products, and nonperishable foods to make up a healthy, balanced diet. UNC also provides utilities and housing-related services and various programs during the holidays.

Counseling, Education, and Long Term Support: Our agency firmly believes in the importance of continuing to work with clients past the fulfillment of basic needs, to provide the support necessary to help them to achieve long-term stability. To this end, the agency offers a variety of long-term support, education, and counseling services on topics such as budgeting, buying a home, and more.

Onsite Supportive & Community Organizing Services: UNC is an onsite supportive service provider at several housing developments throughout the region. UNC staff members serve as an onsite resource for families in these developments who need social services assistance, as well as work to help build community in the buildings through group activities and educational opportunities. With transportation being an issue for many residents, convenient access to a coordinator that can connect the client to any of UNC’s services helps ensure that those who need it get the assistance necessary to stay independent.
