SUMMARY

The People Concern is partnered with the Department of Health Services (DHS) and their Housing for Health (HFH) Program to provide housing and Intensive Case Management Services (ICMS) to persons experiencing homelessness. The Project-based Housing Program houses individuals transitioning from homelessness in subsidized housing units that are attached to supportive services.

Permanent Supportive Housing clients are linked to ICMS case managers who provide home-based and field-based interventions clinical services while employing trauma-informed care and harm reduction approaches.
