How it works
The Clearinghouse process:
- Asking for help. A person in need is referred by either a church or local agency, or contacts Love INC directly.
- Qualifying for help. Specially trained Love INC interviewers assess the request, determine the caller’s commitment toward self-help and discover any larger issues contributing to their current situation.
- Providing help. The request is referred to the most appropriate Love INC church, Love INC ministry, or community agency. Volunteers, material resources, and outreach programs are then matched to the corresponding need.
- Following up. The outcome is reviewed. Were the immediate needs met? Is there a core issue that requires attention? At this stage, the person in need also has the opportunity to meet with a Pastor or become connected to a church if he or she desires. This is often the stage where real hope and long-term relationships emerge.
Clearinghouse Volunteers
Please prayerfully consider volunteering at the Love INC Clearinghouse on either Wednesday, or Friday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. There is much work that needs to be completed, and each new volunteer is a great blessing.
To learn more, please contact the Clearinghouse Coordinator, Karen, at 780-4090, ext. 29.
Do you guys help with rental or deposit assistance or can point me in the right direction?
I’m a single mom of 4 who has been living with my mom these last few months since we moved here. She leaves in a few days so we need to be out of here too. We found a place but i need 1st months rent 1175 which I have and a 1000 deposit which i don’t have. Plus having to buy fuel. It’s a lot to swing all at once. I’m panicking on how I’m going to do this. Someone mentioned I should reach out to you guys.
Good afternoon,
I’m currently dealing with a 7 eviction notice & was hoping for any rent assistance. I do have a job lined up but my start date isn’t until February 2023. I don’t know where else to turn for help, I really don’t want to lose my only safe home for my kid and me.
-Hi Noelle,
I hope that you were able to get assistance. If not plesase call our Welcome Desk at 907-708-4090 so a volunteer can help you start the intake process between 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Hello, my name is Danielle Gray, I recently became homeless. I was currently living with my sister, and I was supposed to take over her lease and that didn’t fall through. My sister moved out the apartment and we had to pack up and leave and we are currently living in our car. Winter months are here, and it is very cold out. Any help with living situation would be greatly appreciated. The shelters here are full.
Danielle, So sorry to be so long is answering your question. I am sorry we are not an emergency agency. If you haven’t already, you can call St. Vincent de Paul 907-789-5535 or go to the Glory Hall for information. If you have children you can call Family Promise 907-586-0160. If you call Love INC and talk to one of the Welcome Desk Volunteers Wed. and Fri. 11-3, they may be able to give you some other suggestions. 907-780-4090.
