Program Description HOST--Full Service Partnership and
CHOICES--Full Service Partnership Housing Component

The HOST team is a “Full Service Partnership,” based on the success of programs funded over the last seven years through State Assembly Bill 2034. Full Service Partnerships are resource-rich programs with 24/7 staffing and flexible funds to meet various client needs.

The team maintains low caseloads with many services offered in the field where homeless people congregate. This allows the team to do “whatever it takes” to assist clients on their road to housing and recovery.

HOST clients have dramatic improvements in housing stability, increased employment and education opportunities, and fewer hospitalizations and incarcerations.

Services provided by the HOST multidisciplinary team include:
  • Housing subsidies and support so that chronically homeless people can enter and maintain safe, affordable, permanent housing.
  • Supported employment services, with a range of paid and volunteer opportunities.
  • Integrated primary care services, psychiatric services, wellness and recovery planning.
  • Case Management services
  • Peer and family support services.
  • Trauma–informed services to help homeless men and women cope with the traumas so common to life on the street.
  • Benefits advocacy and payee services.
  • 24/7 crisis intervention and support.
  • Homeless outreach services for potential partners (clients)
