Homeless Family Services

Accessing Supportive Family Services:

The best way to connect with Homeless Family Services is through Coordinated Entry.

Coordinated Entry

To be eligible for Homeless Family Services case management, you must be:

• Experiencing homelessness; preference is given to applicants sleeping in a car, camp, or on the street.
• Or be a Veteran who is experiencing, or at-risk of experiencing, homelessness.

Homeless Family Services provides:

• Shelter-Based Case Management to adults and families experiencing homelessness staying at Brother Francis Shelter and Clare House.
• Community-Based Case Management offered by mobile case managers who meet with unsheltered or sheltered families and individuals. These referrals come from coordinated entry.
• Intensive Case Management (ICM) for clients experiencing chronic homelessness who need help obtaining permanent, stable housing, with an emphasis on Rapid Rehousing.
• Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) provides case management for homeless, or at-risk for homelessness, Veterans and their families. By working closely with the VA and other community service providers, SSVF case managers can help veterans move toward secure and permanent housing.
