Pathway to Housing
Our Pathway to Housing program empowers families experiencing
homelessness to quickly secure permanent housing.
Pathway to Housing is a community based rapid-rehousing program that assists families in other situations of homelessness, such as those in shelters or motels. We provide intensive case management and financial assistance to families so they can secure housing. Staff connects families to employment opportunities, financial coaching, health and mental health resources, and support for children.
​
In Delaware there are simply not enough emergency shelter beds to shelter every family in need on any given night. That is why we created our Pathway to Housing Program. As this program is community based, it doesn’t provide shelter but we are still able to work with and provide families experiencing homelessness in our community with resources to rapidly re-house them.
​
The Pathway to Housing Program allows us to serve substantially more families in our community as we’re not limited to the number of families we can house in a single shelter. Quickly moving families into permanent housing shortens the duration of a families’ homelessness experience, while freeing up shelter beds.
