Housing First Service Corps (Full-Time) - PY 26/27

ARCH follows Housing First evidence based practices (EBP) to provide a coordinated system that allows for equal access to housing services with minimal barriers to entry by establishing Access Sites throughout the NETN CoC. This Coordinated Entry (CE) process is linked to street outreach efforts so that people sleeping on the streets are prioritized for assistance in the same manner as any other person assessed through the CE process. The CE process must ensure clients' immediate needs, such as housing, are assessed and addressed quickly first (Housing First), and continue to be regularly assessed for ongoing service needs through case management. ARCH has identified the need for 1) the coordination of services for development of a Crisis Response System to ensure low barrier entry to rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing with wraparound mental and behavioral health services for homeless and chronically homeless individuals, Veterans, and homeless unaccompanied youth with mental illness, co-occurring disorders and substance use disorders; 2) support systems necessary for housing stability; and 3) the development of affordable, safe, healthy housing.These goals are supported by our AmeriCorps S&N program, the Housing First Service Corps (HFSC).
