The Hearth Outreach Program
Step 3: Housing Placement
Once a safe and affordable permanent home has been found, Outreach Case Managers:
- accompany their clients to sign the lease and help them move in,
- furnish the unit,
- set up utilities,
- plan for healthy and nutritious meals,
- access local transportation
- and get acclimated to the neighborhood.
Case managers continue to check in regularly with their cilents to endsure that rent is being paid; that they are connected to the community; and that they continue to receive treatment for physical and mental disabilities, substance abuse, or other problems.
Outreach clients work with their case manager to create a a customized care plan and receive hands-on support that ensures that they thrive in their new homes.
