Emergency Assistance
Emergency assistance is provided to help people meet their basic needs. This assistance can help to prevent an eviction or loss of utilities through negotiated agreements with property owners or utility companies, budget planning, and direct financial support.
Employment and Training
The Employment Program offers supported and competitive employment to adults who have limited employment opportunities, experience or skills including people with disabilities. Vocational rehabilitation services may include VESID funded programs.
Family Support Network
The Family Resource Center is a collection of programs dedicated to improve the quality of life for vulnerable families. The Success by Six Program helps participating children enter kindergarten at the typical developmental and educational levels. Transportation to services such as prenatal appointments, WIC or the Department of Social Services is provided. The VITA tax preparation program prepares taxed for consumers and staff at no charge. All volunteers work under the direction of IRS trained professionals.
Food Pantry/Basics for Babies Pantry
The Food Pantry provides three-day supplies of food, diapers, formula and baby food to mothers in need. Annually the Pantry provides a holiday meals program, providing groceries for complete Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for families.
Bethany @ Unity
In 2012 the Bethany Hospitality Center merged with Unity House. Called Bethany @ Unity, this community meals program and resource center serves breakfast and lunch, seven days a week. All are welcome at Bethany and guests can access a wide range of human services through Unity House. Bethany @ Unity is currently located in St. Paul's church at State Street and 3rd Street in downtown Troy.
The Unique Boutique offers new and used clothing and a variety of household items at low prices. People receiving services through Unity House or other community-based agencies may select items at no cost. The Unique Boutique offers household items by acting as a “broker” among people who have items to donate and people who have a need for those items.
The Unique Boutique also serves as a training site for some participants in Unity House's Employment and Training program who are looking to obtain necessary skills for competitive employment in other retail outlets.
