Supportive Housing

Hearth Connection helps supportive housing service organizations successfully house and support people with long histories of homelessness through the development and dissemination of best practices, and by promoting a participant-centered philosophy that asserts that every person deserves a place to call home and the opportunity to prosper. In the planning work we do with service agencies, Hearth Connection honors the experience and success of existing programs, while helping supportive housing providers stretch their historical practices so that people with the longest histories of homelessness and the most challenges to stable housing get into these programs and receive good, respectful support. Hearth Connection maintains contracts with all its supportive service partners and we offer one-on-one support to each mobile supportive services team. We also offer training on best practices. By working with a network of providers, we are able to identify emerging best practices and convey information about what is working across teams and organizations. We help maintain the integrity of the service approach.
