The How To Place
Offering a new concept in community, the How To Place represents a step away from government-supported agencies. The How To Place is YOUR place. A community resource where you can achieve your goals, not the goals that caseworkers and agencies are paid fto fulfill. The How To Place is not an agency. There are no caseworkers, bureaucrats and agents at the How To Place to tell you what you should do. The How To Place is a community-gathering place where you may find “how to” accomplish what you decide.
