Established in 1964 as part of the War on Poverty, ESR provides services to help working homeless and working low-income residents stabilize their lives and pursue self-sufficiency. Its offerings include case management, budgeting and personal counseling, educational support, housing assistance, and programs to build economic literacy and support employment retention.
