Housing Connect
Supporting individuals to sustain housing.
The focus of the program is to provide respectful, client centered outreach support to individuals who are homeless, newly housed or experiencing housing instability so they are successful and self supportive in sustaining their housing.
Clients need to be capable of living independently (ie: can manage personal care, can make informed decisions, and direct their own life). They need to be willing to accept guidance from and engage with Housing Connect staff as well as volunteer mentors and be at a level of readiness where they can actively participate and engage in creating a success plan that affirms their personal goals and objectives.
The overall goal is to support clients in sustaining their current housing.
