Housing Program
The goal of the Clara White Mission housing program is to move homeless participants to permanent housing and independent living within 24 months. Residents are required to:
• Be working and/or in school.
• Participate in case-management and life-skills classes.
• Complete a mental-health assessment and engage in mental-health counseling as indicated.
• Complete a health assessment with the nurse.
• Maintain sobriety and participate in substance-abuse education classes and support groups, as required.
During fiscal year 2006-07, 85 people were housed, with one percent remaining in housing for less than one month. Twenty percent were with us from one-to-two months, 51% from three-to-six months, 17% from seven-to-twelve months, and 11% were enrolled for more than 13 months.
