UHHS works with young people, men, women and families at imminent risk of, or experiencing, homelessness in either crisis or chronic circumstances. The Staying Home outreach service is delivered to 61% of clients living in communities throughout the service region, with the remaining 39% of clients supported through the Going Home combined emergency/transition accommodation and casework service. Operating primarily as an outreach service from three locations across the service region, UHHS provides a local combined intake/assessment response. This determines client needs and the level of intervention required such that clients are immediately supported to maintain stable housing in current accommodation; find and maintain alternate stable and long term housing; or be provided with emergency or transitional accommodation in UHHS facilities as an interim step toward longer term housing stability.
