Program Description
Homeless Services for Families
Homeless Services for Families provides emergency shelter and transitional housing to families with children. Services include intake and assessment, case management, and housing location to link families experiencing homelessness to housing, behavioral health, financial, and legal programs. All services are housing focused with a goal of connecting families with permanent housing as quickly as possible and removing systemic barriers to accessing housing and services. This program includes the Short-term Resolution and Housing Program (SHARP) that helps households in shelter or in need of shelter to quickly resolve their housing crisis so they can avoid a lengthy stay in shelter by securing permanent housing. SHARP targets families and provides a rental subsidy and navigation services.
