Great media coverage on the collaborative work that Community Concepts is doing with Lewiston Public Schools on helping students at-risk of or experiencing homelessness! Both CBS13/WGME-TV and The Lewiston Sun-Journal did stories over the past few weeks, meeting with Natasha and Kim to talk about how they confidentially work with students and their families to secure resources and safe, stable housing. These stories show that model works, but also that sustainable funding, other community partnerships, and long-term affordable housing solutions are needed!
