Resource Development coaching for you!
Through Resource Development Coaching, CCL connects members to available public benefits, relevant people, resources, and opportunities and mobilizes non-financial resources, like social and relational capital. Social and relational capital is expanding your web of relationships to access new resources and opportunities. A part of Resource Development Coaching is income support services which can be as broad as needed to address areas where developing resources and capacities would enhance goal attainment.
To engage in CCL’s Resource Development services please reach out to us via email at frontdesk@cclconnect.org or call us at 773-342-6210.

Connection to mainstream benefits
CCL’s Financial Opportunity Center (FOC) model, is a nationally recognized, evidence-based model that integrates three core services together to achieve meaningful economic advancement – financial coaching, employment coaching, and income support services (mainstream benefits).
CCL coaches members in applying for and accessing mainstream benefits such as SNAP, health insurance, and other programs. CCL utilizes the FOC model to increase employment, mobilize subsidies and mainstream benefits, and reduce household fees and expenses simultaneously, taking a holistic approach to building a household’s financial capability!
