Additional Program Information
Individuals receive intensive case management services, and in some cases, direct financial assistance with first month's rent and/or additional rental assistance during the transition from homelessness to permanent housing. This ensures that the barriers the family faces do not overwhelm the families’ resources, forcing them back into homelessness. Through this program, the housing advocate works with clients to increase their skills, so that eventually they will develop the resources to maintain their housing on their own.

Included in the resources to be provided are literacy training, financial, consumer and budgeting skills, and conflict management training. Those that successfully make the transition to permanent housing and take advantage of this life skills training, have greater self determination. Clients are required to identify and work on goals to remain in the program.
