HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVICES ARE HOUSING PROGRAMS FOR THE HOMELESS, OR IN JEOPARDY OF BEING HOMELESS, INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.
Rapid Rehousing is an evidence-based approach to end homelessness as quickly as possible for families and individuals. This program uses targeted financial assistance and short-term services to quickly return individuals and families who slipped into homelessness back into housing and stability. This program also utilizes “Housing First” where the thought is that people are more likely to be successful when they are no longer in a stressful crisis situation so they are stably housed first and then they are connected to any additional services that they might need.
Diversion staff takes 211 calls and assesses the callers and directs them to proper programs that may be helpful for their situation. The purpose is to divert from shelter and homelessness.
