Homelessness Prevention Program

Homelessness Prevention helps individuals and families at imminent risk of homelessness remain in their current housing and avoid the trauma of eviction. Case managers employ a variety of stabilization strategies to address the immediate situation. Once the crisis has been resolved, clients can shift focus from survival to achieving a plan for ensuring long-term stability.
