The Passport To A Brighter Future For COTS Kids

COTS Passport to Self-Sufficiency™ (PTS) is a trauma-informed, research based, transformative whole family approach designed to create poverty-resistant families and is the overarching framework for all of COTS work. All programs and services, including shelter operations; child care; independent, affordable, and permanent supportive housing; case management; and mobility coaching are provided within the
framework of PTS.

PTS focuses on building the executive functioning skills of COTS families – skills such as impulse control, mental flexibility and memory, which are essential for families to be able to navigate today’s complex and demanding challenges to permanently end poverty and homelessness.
