Housing case management is a critical service
offered by Good Samaritan to the community as
it provides managed support to identify, intervene,
and offset the impact of a crisis, as well as,
to facilitate progression towards long-term housing
opportunities. All emergency and transitional
housing clients are required to participate and
the participation of affordable housing clients
is encouraged. Our hope is that no client returns
to a situation of homelessness. Specific services
include:
- Housing needs assessment
- Planning for future housing
- Financial management and budgeting
- Income subsidy
- Debt workout
