Provides assistance to individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. There are four components to ESG; Street Outreach, Emergency Shelter, Homelessness Prevention, and Rapid Rehousing.
Street Outreach: this service is designed so that CAPCA staff can locate individuals and families living on the street and build relationships with them so that we can connect them to the services that they need to obtain housing.
Emergency Shelter: this service is designed to provide emergency temporary shelter to households who are literally homeless so that they will have the resources they need to obtain permanent housing.
Rapid Rehousing: this service is designed to provide intensive case management services to households who are literally homeless. During case management, CAPCA staff work with household to obtain permanent housing. The household will work to set goals and work on maintaining an income level that allows them to maintain permanent housing.
These three components do not have income guidelines.
Homelessness Prevention: this service is designed to provide services to households who are at risk of eviction. CAPCA staff work with the household to provide intensive case management services to assist the household in maintaining permanent shelter. The household will work to set goals and work on maintaining an income level that allows them to maintain permanent housing.
HP income guidelines are set by HUD and the households must be considered living in extreme poverty. The guidelines vary by county, please contact your local office for more information.
