Mission

LINKS provides resources, advocacy, and connections to improve lives.

Vision

Underserved Mat-Su residents are empowered to have their basic needs met, achieve independence, and thrive in our community.

The Aging and Disability Resource Center promotes health, well-being, and safety for individuals with disabilities, seniors and vulnerable adults and caregivers. Resource specialists help connect people to quality services and support that foster independence, personal choice and dignity.

The Community Parent Resource Center advocates and trains parents and caregivers with children with disabilities. Staff use one-on-one meetings and group training sessions to increase parental knowledge, advocacy, and participation in their child’s education.

The Veteran Directed Care Program enables Self-Directed In-Home Care services by friends and/or family so Veterans can remain in their own homes rather than being placed in an Assisted Living Facility or a nursing home. VA Referral Required

High Utilizer Mat-Su

The High Utilizer Mat-Su (HUMS) program assists community members with a variety of social needs by reducing barriers to accessing healthcare, behavioral health services, and other services the individual may need. The program is voluntary, serves those aged 18 and older that have multiple emergency department visits.
