Models and Partnerships

We pair evidence-based housing models with strong community partnerships. Together with city agencies, landlords, healthcare providers, and nonprofits, we move people from crisis to safe, stable housing—and stay engaged so stability lasts.

Models

Our approach is housing-led, person-centered, and data-informed. Below are the core models we use with partners across the region.

• Housing First  Low-barrier, client-directed housing with supports wrapped around tenancy and health goals.

• Coordinated Entry  Standardized assessment and referral so people reach the right housing option faster.

• Rapid Re-Housing (RRH)  Short-term rental assistance with case management to quickly resolve homelessness.

• Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)  Long-term housing with intensive services for neighbors with the highest needs.

• Street & Community Outreach  Field-based engagement, basic needs, and warm hand-offs to services and housing.

• Diversion & Problem-Solving  Light-touch mediation and support to prevent shelter entry when safe alternatives exist.

• Landlord Partnership Program  Unit recruitment, risk mitigation, and rapid leasing with a single point of contact.

• Tenancy Support & Eviction Prevention  Coaching on rights/responsibilities, budgeting, and early-warning response to keep housing.

• SSI/SSDI Outreach (SOAR)  Application support for disability benefits to stabilize income for eligible participants.

• Workforce & Income Stabilization  Resume clinics, job referrals, training linkages, and benefits screening.

• Behavioral Health Linkage  Connections to primary care, mental health, and recovery services with warm hand-offs.

• Data & Quality Improvement  Outcome tracking and continuous improvement to drive better, faster results.
