Mission

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

Vision

LINKS is widely known as the go-to resource in the Mat-Su driven by a powerful board, a dedicated and knowledgeable workforce, and high-quality individualized services. It’s fueled by diverse funding streams and strong community partnerships.

Aging and Disability Resource Center

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.

Community Parent Resource Center

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.

Veteran Directed Care Program

The Veteran Directed Care Servant2Served (S2S) Program provides increased flexibility for receiving home and community‐based services that enable a Veteran to remain in their home and community rather than receive services in a nursing facility.

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.
