Obtaining safe and stable housing is a difficult process that becomes more challenging the longer that one is living on the streets. The information necessary to obtain this basic human need seems to be hidden from those who are not already set-up with resources. This website's aim is to hopefully provide a greater understanding on how to meet this goal.
The three main steps are: one, get off of the streets with emergency shelter; two, get greater support through Transitional Housing; and three, get long-term support through programs that provide holistic support. Below, this process is broken down into a step-by-step process. On each page, there are detailed descriptions provided for all listed resources. This information is gathered from the specific website and thus reflects the language that provider chooses to use. Keep in mind, this information is not all encompassing of our community resources, but simply marks a good starting place for people with different needs.
