Homeless Services
We provide a broad range of services and housing assistance for families, veterans and individuals experiencing homelessness or at-risk of homelessness. Our Housing First approach is based on our firm belief that everyone has the right to safe, decent and affordable housing; and that securing housing for the homeless person enables him or her to effectively respond to treatment of mental illness and substance abuse issues that are often the root causes of homelessness. We work to secure the documents and assistance for those in need to become eligible for our housing programs.
