Bonnie’s Place

Education and Skill Building

  • North Star attempts to be more than just a safety net for families. Each family has had their own specific barriers and challenges that led them to homelessness.
  • The staff works diligently to build up each family’s “toolbox” to be better prepared to maintain their self-sufficient, permanent housing when they leave Bonnie’s Place. New knowledge can help protect families from experiencing homelessness ever again.

– Changing habits.

– Stress and self-care.

– Time management.

– Healthy eating on a budget.

– Conflict resolution skills.

– Effective communication.
