The primary goal is to identify unsheltered homeless neighbors through direct street outreach activities, regular drop-in hours, and through community referrals from mental health providers, hospitals, local law enforcement and municipalities and other social service agencies. In identifying highly vulnerable homeless neighbors, the Housing Navigator will administer assessment tools, facilitate placement into emergency housing, and connect to social services and permanent housing. The Navigator will also assist neighbors in obtaining housing readiness documentation and accompany them through the housing application process.

In addition, the Housing Navigator works in a collaborative effort with Adams County and partner agencies to implement a Severe Weather Activation Program (SWAP) to ensure that individuals and families experiencing homelessness have a safe, secure, short-term place to stay during inclement weather. The goal of this program is to provide temporary emergency shelter and to connect households experiencing homelessness to re-housing case management. The Housing Navigator will work in designated locations throughout Adams County to conduct intake assessments on individuals and families experiencing homelessness and directly link to motel/hotel vouchers in Adams County during the winter season. The Housing Navigator will provide program support to SWAP and its participants as needed.
