This might include mapping of personal networks and resources, motivational interviewing, conflict resolution, and/or mediation.
Assess families' eligibility for San Francisco's Homelessness Response System, which includes shelter, rental subsidies, and permanent supportive housing. Help families understand how the system works, and whether and how they can access it.
Provide families with referrals for emergency overnight shelters, food and other basic needs, and all other relevant resources.
Maintain up to date information about families in both Compass' Salesforce database and the city-wide ONE System.
Once a family is matched with a housing opportunity, offer support to facilitate the connection and ensure that they are able to take advantage of it.
