Mission: To work to end homelessness by providing housing, supportive services, advocacy and education.
Programs: Housing - homefull provides support services to homeless families and individuals diagnosed with a primary disability of mental health disorder or substance use disorder in permanent supportive housing. Services are focused on retaining/maintaining housing stability, increasing incomes, accessing mainstream benefits, enhancing the child and family relationships, and improving overall physical and mental health. Case managers work in partnership with clients and community partners to achieve both individual client goals as well as program performance goals.
shelter supportive services - homefull provides coordinated assessment and shelter case management to homeless men, women and families in the community gateway shelters. The primary objective is to quickly assess and identify the most appropriate housing options based on the assessment. Case managers work collaboratively with clients to identify housing and determine the appropriate level of support needed to be successful and reduce the likelihood of repeat homeless episodes. Homefull will work with clients to assist with job search, linkage to benefits, and physical and behavioral health needs.
rapid rehousing - homefull provides rapid rehousing programs that combines financial rental assistance with support services. Homefull assists homeless men, women and families find housing, through housing location services, advocacy and education efforts. Once housing is secured, homefull works with the clients to understand the lease expectations between them and the private landlords through education. Homefull provides rental assistance for a period of time based on the household's circumstances generally between 3-9 months, and during this time provides case management services to reduce returns to homelessness. Case management focuses on increasing incomes, improving behavioral and physical health issues, and maintaining housing.
