Residents, staff describe services and referrals at PSH program site

Resident described personal experience of homelessness and illness and credited services at a PSH site for housing stability. "Just came up just just looking at pictures or something out of memory or I read it in a book. I I knew I was having challenges. I was we were having a kid. We were homeless. Very proud of Johnny," the Resident said. The Resident also said, "We didn't have a job. Didn't have anything going for us. All we just had was, you know, the help, whatever they could help us with. At that time, I had got sick. I got leukemia."

Staff member summarized eligibility and on-site services. "Families qualify for the PSH program if they've experienced chronic, homelessness through shelter stays. They receive referral through the human services department to come live here at this site, where they can receive comprehensive case management on-site with the human services department, and the housing department," the Staff member said.

The Resident said the move-in and support process was straightforward: "They made it real easy. We were showing the home with all the grama provided. We had a hand in everything." The Staff member added that program services include employment components and financial self-sufficiency supports, and that the site provides youth-focused services — "so we can support them through mental health referrals, programming referrals, in addition to offering our on-site, after school program."
