| Statewide Interest: |
| Homeless individuals either stay or come to Palm Beach County from other places throughout the state and country to live in this community and reap the advantages of climate. Currently, there is no program to serve the immediate emergency needs of homeless adults. This program will assist the client to transtion from homelessness to the most appropriate homeless, substance abuse and/or mental health provider, best suited to satisfy the individual client need. The program provides two phases- a 1-3 day stay, providing assessment, case management and referral/linkage services and a 1-30 day stay for substance abusing homeless individuals. This program will provide police drop-off and walk-in services to the community. It is the first of its kind in Palm Beach County and will become an integral part of the currently existing local homeless continuum of care. By serving the needs of the homeless population of Palm Beach County, we wil be serving homeless individuals who migrate here from other cities in south, central, and north Florida, as well as from other areas of the country. |
