How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Harm Reduction in Supportive Housingmethodology: harm_reductionBy applying harm reduction principles, we support sustained housing and health engagement for individuals with substance use disorders, because removing abstinence requirements reduces barriers to access and fosters trust in care relationships.
- Holistic Supportive Housing Modelmethodology: holistic supportive housingBy integrating housing, clinical services, and community engagement, we produce better resident outcomes, because coordinated, multi-dimensional support addresses the interconnected drivers of instability for individuals living with HIV/AIDS and other complex health conditions.
- Housing-First Modelmethodology: housing_firstBy providing permanent housing without behavioral prerequisites, we produce greater housing stability and improved health outcomes for individuals with complex needs, because stable housing enables engagement with supportive services and reduces barriers related to survival stress.
