Our work - Tri County's Consumer Foundation

Our Foundation works closely with community partners

to help our clients receive services. In order to ensure our clients needs
are met, we will assist as needed, with a variety of programs such as:

DENTAL CARE

Tri-County Behavioral Healthcare has a very high level of underserved consumers who cannot afford insurance. This means that dental care is often overlooked for more important necessities such as food and shelter. Many consumers are on medications that may cause tooth decay and without proper care can cause heart disease, dementia, respiratory infections, and diabetic complications.

CRITICAL HOME REPAIR

Maintaining stable housing keeps individuals and families out of emergency shelters, keeps families intact, and keeps people productive. Through our minor home repair program, the Foundation seeks to repair some of the more critical housing upkeep issues such as replacing a roof, fixing a furnace, building a handicap ramp, painting, and flooring.

HOUSING ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM

Montgomery County has over 400 individuals and 800 children who do not have permanent housing. Many of the individuals are clients of Tri-County. The Foundation seeks to decrease and then prevent homelessness by providing financial assistance for rent and utility payments; while working with the family to identify and resolve the issues that led to the initial crisis.

Transportation plays a critical role in providing access to employment, healthcare, education, etc. Through our critical car repair program we seek to repair more critical issues such as breaks, oil changes, batter, tires, heating/air conditioning; along with gas cards, tag and registration renewal, and liability insurance payment assistance.
