Community LINC

Community LINC Our mission is to end the cycle of homelessness for this generation and the next. A mix of staff and volunteers deliver classes in age-related groups.

Community LINC's mission is to end homelessness, impact poverty and remove barriers to self-sufficiency for the families we serve. Each year, Community LINC provides Interim and Immediate Housing to approximately 150 homeless families in the greater Kansas City area. Our vision is to end family homelessness in Kansas City by providing the tools and resources families need to break the cycle of hom

elessness. With the advocacy and support of staff and volunteers, our residents reduce or eliminate their debt, establish and maintain savings and work on life skills and self-sufficiency. Community LINC’s Children’s Program provides resilience and nutritional life skills training, as well as mental wellness services and academic advocacy and support. Our goal is to prepare children to live independent and healthy lives. Community LINC also provides Aftercare Services once families are in their permanent homes. This continued support ensures families will maintain their independence. To learn more about our programs, the families we serve and our impact on the community, contact us at [email protected] or 816.531.3727.

The reality for children in the Kansas City community:

• 1,200+ public school students experience housing instability each school year
• Reading and math proficiency rates among unhoused students in Missouri are more than 20% lower than state averages
• 1 in 7 young children in our community live below the federal poverty line

At Community LINC, we provide families with stable housing while parents work toward long-term independence. Through children's programming, educational support, and enrichment opportunities, we help children learn, play, and thrive.

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up in a safe, stable environment. Together, we can help make that possible. 💙
