The Scattered Site Housing project
is a program designed to serve adults and families in transitional
housing leading to permanent housing.
The program provides a continuum of care intended to move clients
towards self-sufficiency by providing educational referrals, life skills
training, counseling/case management and medical consultations.
This
project differs from others because the project itself is the
leaseholder and therefore responsible for paying rent and other
conditions stipulated in the lease.
As the leaseholder, the project is also responsible for
monitoring clients on a weekly basis to ensure apartments are kept clean
and free of damage.
Prospective
clients must meet certain criteria for consideration into the program.
They must undergo an intensive needs assessment to determine and
identify their individual needs and those of each member of the family.
A case plan is then developed based on those needs and community
resources are accessed to assist clients in completing case plan
objectives.
Case
plan objectives are tailored to suit the individual needs of the client.
These plans include educational goals like GED or vocational
training, resume writing and or job placement, money management,
addiction counseling in the form of recovery and relapse prevention
programs as well as scheduling self-help groups such as NA/AA meetings.
