Finding and renting a home is a major life accomplishment. Our Ready to Rent program helps families prepare to find and maintain housing. We offer a free 6 session rental education class where participants work closely with housing specialists and local experts to decrease incidents of homelessness and eviction. Learning Empowered had 40 students participate and 25 complete the program.

To learn more about how you can succeed in the rental market, call 727-442-6881 or email contact@learning-empowered.org.

We are now offering Ready to Rent classes online! Classes are free for Pinellas residents.

Resources and Referrals (Support to Families)

Connecting families with needed community resources is an important part of service provision. We make every effort to work with community partners to ensure that families receive support for all of their needs across the spectrum of social services available in our community. Through partnerships with other providers, we refer our families for needed support—from basic needs for food, clothing and shelter, to programs that support family mental health, substance abuse and intimate partner violence. Family well-being is a priority for us. We want our families to be successful. We want our community to be there to help every family that wants support. The resources and referrals we provide help families to build community, resilience and family strength.
