Purpose: To serve individuals who are homeless through a continuum of care, emergency shelter, intake and assessment, transitional housing and support services, with the goal of gaining or regaining economic self-sufficiency. This program serves the entire county.

Eligibility: Homeless individuals are served based on HUD's definition which defines homeless as living in places not meant for human habitation such as:

1. cars, parks, sidewalks, and abandoned buildings;
2. in an emergency shelter;
3. transitional or supportive housing (for homeless persons who originally came from the streets or emergency shelter);
4. in any of the above places but is spending a short time (up to thirty (30) consecutive days) in a hospital or other institution;
5. is being evicted within a week from a private dwelling unit and no subsequent residence has been identified and the person lacks the resources and the support networks needed to obtain housing;
6. is being discharged within a week from an institution in which the person has been a resident for more than thirty (30) consecutive days and no subsequent residence has been identified and he/she lacks the resources and support networks needed to obtain housing.

The Homeless Services Program has three (3) Homeless Outreach Teams. Each team consists of employees from Division of Human Services, CARP, and Oakwood. Assessments are done together and individually. These teams assess by appointment as well as regular outreach into the community. Individuals must be able to work, ready to remain sober, and/or compliant with mental health recommendations.
