Housing Transitional housing is crucial to the success of the continuum of care program. Initially, participants are placed in emergency shelters to be stabilized and provided with the basic necessities. During training, they reside in temporary housing to allow full monitoring during their development. After their employment continues for at least 12 consecutive weeks, the client is moved to transitional housing. This housing is arranged in a semi-independent environment.
Transitional housing is the final step to full reintegration.
For the program to succeed, follow-up by the case manager is critical. Tracking the progress of participants, maintaining routine communication with employment services and evaluating the participant s progress is a means of measuring the program s success and needed modifications. The case managers, project coordinator and Chief of Veteran Services division join forces in the evaluation of each participant. Using this approach, immediate intervention is taken if employment goals are not met. Upon completion of training needed for new skills, educational programs and the reintroduction of participants into the labor force, participants will be considered successfully integrated pending employment of 12 weeks or longer.
