HOME Services—

Helping Others Make the Effort (HOME) is working to break the cycle of homelessness by providing housing and life skills to homeless women and their children. HOME offers four distinct program options, dependent on the individual family’s need and housing urgency.

HOME Residential Program- HOME’s residential campus is our signature program. HOME has fifteen apartment units where homeless families reside while participating in on-site life skills training, counseling, and intensive case management. The program can take up to 18 months to complete, on average. Upon graduation, clients will move to independent housing in the community and will receive post-placement case management.

HOMELite- HOMELite provides case management and life skills education to clients who are not in urgent need of housing but could greatly benefit from HOME’s life skills education component. The curriculum, which is delivered in various settings (such as in or near motels where clients reside), is designed to boost financial literacy, employability, and housing stability.

HOMEBase- HOMEBase works to identify and place families into housing units available on the open market.  Once families are placed, HOME provides case management and some financial assistance. Clients are admitted to HOMEBase either by graduating from the residential program or by completing 60 days of HOMELite and rating high enough on the self sufficiency scale that the client will be successful in scattered site housing with minimal supervision. This program serves families who have a low housing urgency and low services need but will not thrive or become totally independent without housing assistance.

HOMEFast- This program, provides case management and emergency funding for families experiencing a short term crisis that put them at risk of becoming homeless.
