Community Voice Mail
Free 24-Hour Voice Mail
Phone service
is not a luxury – it’s a lifeline. Imagine losing a job, having no place to
stay, losing phone service, and having no place to receive messages. That
means no number to put on job applications. No call backs from employers or
landlords. It means falling deeper in to crisis. Hundreds of people in
Skagit County face this problem every day.
That’s why
Community Voice Mail (CVM for short) provides a free, private 24-hour
voice mail number to low-income people trying to get back on their feet.
There’s no worry that a person will be “disconnected”- the number is
available as long as a person needs it. And with the help of CVM service
providers, the person is connected with the other resources they need to
succeed.
Broadcast Messaging
With the help
of dedicated case managers, CVM users are connected with employment
opportunities by having local job listings sent to their voice mail. They
also have access to a 24-hour job resource hotline, updated at least once
weekly.
CVM users are
also connected with scholarships, financial aid, food assistance, housing
assistance, and a variety of other resources. CVM users are often the first
to hear about opportunities to better their lives.
