What is your Supportive Community Initiative? This is a way to involve our clients in finding creative ways to serve others. Glocal values cultivating relationships by sharing skills, passions, and knowledge with others who are part of our community. Glocal asks all clients to take part in this initiatve every month they are part of a Glocal housing program. In action, this may look like giving a neighbor a ride to work, quilting blankets for those in need, or hosting a free cooking class. Glocal will provide the financial means for our clients to serve others and simultaneously put their skills and talents to action. As the Initiative grows, we will open it to the entire community. Our goal is to simply serve others and in doing so, create authentic relationships.

​

Is it mandatory to take part in the SCI if I receive assistance? For all who receive rental or housing assistance, yes. This is a very flexible program, and is not at all meant to burden you. We will have creative ways for you to take part in it, though it is mandatory. 

​

What is the Lighthouse Program? This is a financial assistance program for counseling/therapy. This will be open to all Glocal clientele taking part in a housing program, as well as nonprofit workers in Gallatin County. 

​

Has The Lighthouse Program started? While we have opened this program to a few individuals, funding is currently limited so we do not yet have an application online.
