Founded in 1990, Community Support Programs is a nonprofit agency that works to enable individuals and families that need support. Our mission is to give these people what they need to successfully function as independently as possible.

Although our organization began by helping homeless men and women diagnosed with mental illness, we’ve expanded our scope to also help families and children in need. Our innovative programs are specifically designed to help with housing, as well as, provide support for those battling mental health issues and addiction. We strive to maintain the dignity of each person served and to respect them as an individual.

Unity is what makes a community thrive. Learn more about our programs and how you can help.
