What We Do
Working Single Parents
Working single parents may require urgent financial assistance due to unforeseen circumstances beyond their control. Timely support may be provided to assist them with their bills and emergency expenses to help them regain stability. The Brooks Foundation collaborates with referral agencies and organizations rather than offering direct services. Through this collaborative approach, the Foundation works with these agencies on a case-by-case basis, supporting struggling working single parents.
Rental Assistance
We provide temporary financial assistance that can be used for housing expenses among other needs. This helps prevents families from homelessness and housing instability. We play a vital role in stabilizing families in crisis, ensuring they can maintain safe and secure housing while working towards long-term self-sufficiency.
Transportation Assistance
Transportation assistance plays an important role in ensuring access to essential resources and opportunities. Transportation assistance may include funding for bus passes, fuel vouchers, or arranging rides to important destinations such as medical appointments, job interviews, schools, and grocery stores. By addressing transportation barriers, these families can overcome obstacles to employment, healthcare, and education, fostering greater independence and stability. This support is particularly critical in areas with limited public transportation options, helping families stay connected to the community and improve their overall quality of life.
Eviction Assistance
Eviction assistance may be provided to single parents and their children facing housing instability. Funding may include offering emergency financial aid to single parents to cover past due rent, damages, and mediation services to help resolve conflicts. Eviction prevention helps single parents, and their children remain in their homes, maintain stability, and work towards long-term financial security.
