Brighton Center wraps a community of support around individuals and families by tackling the issues that prevent people from becoming self-sufficient, removing the barriers they face, and creating hope so that goals can be achieved and dreams realized. From our modest beginnings in 1966, we have grown to provide a wide range of programs and services which include meeting basic needs, adult and early childhood education, workforce development, substance abuse recovery for women, affordable housing, financial education and counseling, youth services, and neighborhood based programs. Students working with the Brighton Center will work with their Scholar House program, which is a comprehensive self-sufficiency program for single parent families that provides affordable housing, child development services, and case management support as they pursue a degree in higher education.
