In this comprehensive program, mentors (trained social workers or case managers) addresses the root causes of chronic poverty by working one-on-one with clients and setting goals to eliminate unique barriers resulting in chronic poverty. CHRC mentors work with each head of household on a monthly basis to assess the barriers contributing to their ongoing food insecurity, financial instability, and other socio-economic factors resulting from poverty. Then, they empower clients to gain access to tools and resources to advance their lives such as nutritious food, financial literacy skills, healthcare services, etc., by creating a goal-based plan to address and overcome said barriers. Mentors maintain relationships with clients as they work towards accomplishing each goal, offering encouragement, accountability, and grace along the way.
