OUR MISSION
Creative Directions Inc’s goal is to open the future for those in need, close the gaps, and meet the needs in their present lives so they can see with new vision what is available to them. With our support and that new view of life, they can choose to act more responsibly, live more positively, and are more productive in achieving worthwhile goals.
WHAT WE DO

Assisting members to start businesses in their communities is also supported by business planning, financial support, initial volunteer labor and technical support.
When needed, members can get assistance with housing, job, daycare and more.
RESULTS DRIVEN
Members, Sponsors and Volunteers Working Together.
Unlike other support organizations we require our members commitment for success. The success of our members is on them - they need to be willing to put in the work and be willing to make changes. In order for this to happen we need volunteer support, community acceptance and sponsorships.
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT AND COMMITMENT
Plan to help individuals and families become self-sufficient in 6 months to a year. That means the same people won’t keep receiving assistance.
INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION FOR COMMUNITY HOUSING
