Rehousing & Continued Care
Rehousing & Continued Care
While the shelter team manages day-to-day shelter operations and works to maintain a physically and psychologically safe environment for all guests, the Rehousing team helps guests find safe, appropriate, and affordable housing. This team has three on-site Rehousing Case Managers who assist guests in identifying and working towards their goals, housing-related and otherwise, a Housing Navigator who serves as the intermediary between guests and landlords and who regularly provides available housing resources to guests, and two continued care Housing Specialists, one of whom is a Peer, to provide community-based case management for shelter guests who have transitioned into housing. This team embraces a housing-first model of care, working to get individuals out of the shelter system and into housing as quickly and safely as possible while providing the necessary support before, during, and after the transition into housing.
