Start Navigator

Have you experienced difficulties with paying for rent/mortgage, utilities, food insecurity, locating childcare, or other necessities and are unsure where to turn to?

 

As the START Navigator (Services, Tools, Assistance, Resources, and Talents), I can assist Otsego County residents with navigating resources, connecting with resources, and provide case management to help guide residents through a difficult time. When you are looking for someone local with lived experience I am here to help!
