Screening for Housing First
Description
The screening process can serve several purposes. The process allows for initial engagement to be made with homeless individuals in the community. Once contact has been made, homeless service providers can begin to determine if individuals meet program eligibility requirements. From there, a system of prioritization can be developed in order to place individuals with the highest needs into Housing First services quickly. The focus of this review is on the screening process which is just one phase of the assessment road map.
