What referrals can you provide me? 

Peer specialists at Marigold understand that many needs may arise during one’s recovery journey. Our peer specialists pride themselves on staying current with resources in your area to best support you.  We help coordinate access to food, shelters, transitional housing, clothing banks, health care, employment, and more.

What if I need help with housing?

Our peer specialists do not directly provide housing or have any involvement in housing placements.  As mentioned above, Marigold peer specialists do have contacts and lists of resources to help you get on track to find housing.
