When crisis strikes, planning feels impossible. That’s where MAP steps in.
When crisis strikes, planning feels impossible. That’s where MAP steps in.
At Make A Plan Inc., we believe that no one should face life’s hardest moments alone. Whether it’s a sudden loss, a health emergency, a major life transition, or chronic instability, MAP provides compassionate, strategic guidance to help individuals and families who are facing real hardship move forward with clarity and confidence.
Some visitors arrive with a single urgent need such as a court summons, eviction notice, school suspension, or medical emergency. Others come with multiple overlapping challenges that make daily life unmanageable.
No matter the situation, MAP offers compassionate strategic guidance and hands-on support so individuals and families can move toward stability with dignity.

What we do.
At Make A Plan Inc., we believe that no one should face life’s hardest moments alone.
Walk side by side through daily tasks.
Visitors schedule appointments, read and respond to mail, communicate with professionals, access online portals, and complete applications at our desks, with coaching, interpretation, and translation when needed.
Listen deeply
Every visitor meets privately with a MAP Guide who takes time to understand their full story, and then together, we create a visual map that breaks challenges into manageable steps.
Build skills for independence
Through one-on-one support, visitors strengthen their ability to navigate systems, advocate for themselves, and stay organized. In upcoming workshops, visitors will learn English, computer skills, and financial literacy.
Connect to trusted partners.
Through informed referrals, MAP provides warm handoffs, advocates when needed, and follows up to ensure services are received
Follow through
MAP Guides check in regularly, assist in adjusting plans, and celebrate progress.
