Housing
~They have a housing program called Housing First.
~ “Housing First means there are no conditions that have to be met before the person moves in.”
~Housing is provided in apartments that are spread throughout the District, with each client holding their own lease.
~ “After receiving housing first, every client is matched with a support team (Assertive Community Treatment Team, Veterans Housing First Team and/or Permanent Supportive Housing Team) comprised of psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, certified addictions counselors, employment specialists, and peer health specialists.”
~They also have a Street Outreach Program.
~ “The goal of our street outreach program is to connect people living on the street with housing and the life saving services they need.”
~Staff members help meet the basic needs of homeless individuals, like food, clothing, showers, laundry, transportation services, identification, etc…
~Then, they help each individual access housing, employment, medical care, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, and other services.
~Additionally, their “nurse practitioner and psychiatrist conduct street visits to engage people with complex health needs who are not connected to other health services.”
