Assistance through these vouchers is known as the “Rapid-Re-Housing Program”, a model of assistance for a period of 24 months in which the family achieves emotional and economic stability. Individuals and families are selected through the Coordinated Entry System and, if accepted into the program, an individualized plan is worked out for them that includes progress evaluations, personal empowerment, life skills development, financial counseling and psychological therapy, all with in order to achieve stability in permanent housing.
Outreach programs of Solo Por Hoy are known as “Peer to Peer” or Peer programs. This methodology is implemented with the hiring of recovered individuals who work in the community outreach area, facilitating the process through personal identification with the program participants.
The outreach program has two components:
