Diversion and Prevention

The Homeless Diversion and Prevention Program is a comprehensive and compassionate initiative aimed at addressing homelessness at its root and preventing individuals and families from experiencing homelessness. This program embodies a multifaceted approach that combines innovative strategies, community engagement, and support services to create a safety net for those at risk of losing their homes or who have recently become homeless.

Trained diversion specialists work with clients to identify creative solutions, such as mediation with landlords, financial assistance, or connections to supportive networks.

The primary goals of the Homeless Diversion and Prevention Program are to:

• Prevent homelessness among at-risk individuals and families.
• Divert individuals away from emergency shelters when possible.
• Rapidly re-house those who have become homeless.
• Provide long-term housing stability and self-sufficiency.

Ultimately, the program seeks to reduce the overall incidence of homelessness within the community, improve the quality of life for individuals and families, and foster a sense of stability and security.

By addressing homelessness through a combination of prevention, diversion, and re-housing strategies, the Homeless Diversion and Prevention Program offers a holistic approach to solving one of society’s most pressing issues and serves as a beacon of hope for those in need.
