What to Expect
Intakes are conducted in a confidential, non judgemental manner.
- Intake Process
You’ll first speak with our administrative assistant for a confidential intake. This helps us learn more about your situation. - Waitlist & Appointment
Once your intake is complete, you’ll be added to our waitlist. When a housing support worker has availability on their caseload, they’ll reach out to schedule an appointment to create a personalized action plan - Active File Period
Your file will remain open for 6-12 months. If your housing support worker is unable to reach you for a check-in during that time, your file will be closed. If you need assistance again after your file is closed, we’ll ask you to go through the intake process once more.
