Supportive Services

Metropolitan Ministries' Supportive Services Project provides clients with on-site consultation and enrollment in programs that can help even more as they chart the way forward. Because of this extended help offered right here, right now, clients have greater access to what they need without using their precious resources to travel to several different agencies.
