Through its diverse programming, UNC supports RISE participants by addressing their current circumstances and providing practical, goal-oriented support to help them achieve greater stability and long-term success. With a shared database that helps identify needs and connect individuals to appropriate resources, UNC offers dynamic, wrap-around services tailored to the whole person.
Coaching at UNC integrates the functions of traditional case management with a focus on building executive functioning skills and long-term goal attainment. Coaches work closely with participants to address barriers—such as time management, motivation, or navigating complex systems—while connecting them to vital resources and community supports. Coaches offer individualized support to promote self-sufficiency and sustained progress.
UNC’s integrated approach spans five core departments—Community Services, Children and Teens, Community Education, Community Revitalization, and Community Health and Aging—as well as a Housing and Community Development Corporation. Together, these programs form a responsive, innovative network that addresses the evolving needs of the community.
