Participants will be required to participate in supportive services including case management and life skills classes that focus on employment and permanent housing location. The targeted outcome for each participant will be long -term stable housing. At the point of entry, an assessment will be completed to identify every barrier to housing stability. The identified barriers will be addressed through goal setting and accountability under the care and guidance under Mercy House staff. Rapid Re- Housing funds will be leveraged to assist individuals in exiting the program and entering permanent, stable housing as quickly as possible.
