Here at Choices our goal is to provide supportive services through case management along with housing to prevent each resident from re-experiencing homelessness.

In partnership with the resident, we tailor individual service plans to address their particular needs.  All residents have similar broad goals, such as maintaining their housing, increasing their skills and/or income, and working on self-determination and personal growth, but often the similarities end there. After assessing their largest obstacles, we focus on eliminating their individual barriers and focus on issues like: budgeting, child care, eliminating debt, enrolling in school/GED courses, managing medications and/or mental health care, exercising, finding adequate health providers, providing transportation, obtaining counseling for trauma, etc. Regardless of the issues, the resident and the case manager meet every week to monitor progress and work hard as a team to improve self-sufficiency.

We are fortunate to have space in our program for five families and three individuals and currently we are nearly full. This month two new families will be moving into our last two available units.  We will work closely with our new residents to help them accomplish their goals as we continue to work with those we already house.  We are always happy to welcome new families to our program.
