The Rotary Club of Walnut Creek is presenting a check to the Trinity Center to start an innovative Education Program to help those people who are houseless to gain employment and navigate the difficult path to prosperity.
The Trinity Center is a resource for those who are houseless providing meals, laundry, and bathing facilities to them. They also have workshops to help them with everything from substance abuse remediation to how to apply for a job and interview for that job.

The New Program that the funding will be used for will be a unique approach to getting the houseless off the street. It involves the development of a comprehensive Wellness Program that addresses the challenges and barriers to health and well-being by those living unsheltered or in unstable housing.
This will provide a pathway to sustainable housing, enhance their ability to obtain and maintain employment and income, mental and physical health, sobriety, and social connections.
