Housing Assistance Points
Housing Assistance Points (HAP)
A key feature of our Community Outreach Program are our Housing Assistance Points (HAPs). These are a schedule of geographic locations where we assure our unhoused neighbors we will be at on a regular and consistent basis.
Key Components
Consistency: HAPs place the same person at the same time and at the same place every single week. This regularity and consistency of schedule helps make communication easier in a community which often does not have phones or email.
Stable Relationships: The success of our Enhanced Clients Services program is based in the sustained and trusting relationships we are able to build with our unhoused neighbors. Having the same, regular staff member who is committed to a specific location and a specific schedule makes it easiest to build rapport and trust with those most in need of our services.
