MATRIX HUMAN SERVICES
At Matrix Human Services #GivingTuesday celebrates our year-long focus on giving our community the tools and resources needed to Transition to Success™ – moving from poverty to lives of self sufficiency.
We encourage you to commit to giving back today! Join us in the fight against poverty.
Matrix Human Services is dedicated to breaking the generational cycle of poverty in the city of #Detroit. Through our groundbreaking, nationally recognized, ASPIRE Matrix (formerly Transition to Success™), offering a strong reliable hand-up and not just a hand-out, we are truly changing lives.
ASPIRE Matrix coordinates care for basic needs, literacy, getting an education, (including GED and higher education for parents), financial literacy and volunteerism; all key components for self-sufficiency. We work with clients to first address immediate basic needs of food, healthcare and shelter, then plot long term goals, leading to financial stability and improved health.
In the summer of 2014, ASPIRE Matrix (formerly Transition to Success™), was selected as a Clinton Global Initiative.
