Local Initiatives Navigation Center (L.I.N.C.)
The Kings Tulare Homeless Alliance coordinates the Local Initiative Navigation Center (LINC), a collaborative outreach model that brings service providers together at multiple locations throughout Kings and Tulare Counties several times each month. These events create a centralized access point where individuals and families experiencing homelessness can connect with housing resources, Coordinated Entry, benefits assistance, healthcare services, employment support, and other community-based programs. By convening providers in one location, LINC improves service coordination, reduces barriers to access, and helps participants obtain the resources needed to achieve housing stability and self-sufficiency. Services offered may vary by location.
Services include:
Employment assistance
Mental health services
HIV education and resources
Child support services
Referrals to expert providers
Free California ID vouchers for the DMV
Free cell phones
Housing assessment through the Coordinated Entry System
Enrollment into Medi-Cal and CalFresh
