Community Navigator Program (CNP)
The purpose of the Community Navigator Program is to help strengthen our community. Everyone has something to offer.
If you need assistance—
Need help finding housing, food or help with rent or heat? Want to return to work or find a better job? Worried about a loved one who is aging and not sure what resources are available to them or you? The Community Navigator Program (CNP) is a free and confidential service designed to help families on the Peninsula meet essential needs and achieve goals and aspirations. We connect community members to available resources so that everyone on the Peninsula can meet the challenges of life head on with grace and dignity.
