Please describe below how your program serves these priorities. (This is the sole subjective part of the application): (10 points)

_Haven House has been providing what is now considered housing first since our opening in 1983. Rapidly re-housing families has always been at the forefront of our programming. Our program is focused on finding affordable housing as quickly as possible. We have also worked over the past five years to raise move-in costs. Once families are housed they continue to receive supportive services with targeted case management . For the upcoming year, we plan to collaborate even more closely with the HUD RRH Program, currently housed at CACS, by implementing a wrap around service while families are in shelter and continuing on to when they are housed through our Partners IN Progress Program(PIP). Our PIP Program provides in-home case management, provision of non-food stamp items, goal setting, actsas a laison for the landlord and the tenant, along with promoting self-sufficiency, stability and financial responsibility. Families can be involved in our PIP program for up to 12 months.

We do provide direct shelter services to homeless families. We provide shelter along with all basic needs, food, diapers, and 24 hour staff support.
