Pathways Housing First Model

The Pathways Housing First Model is an approach to helping individuals experiencing chronic homelessness by providing immediate access to permanent housing without preconditions like sobriety or employment. The focus is on offering stable housing as a foundation, then providing supportive services such as healthcare, counseling, and job assistance to address underlying issues. This approach respects personal choice, promotes autonomy, and aims to quickly stabilize lives, believing that housing is a critical first step toward recovery and community integration. It has been effective in improving housing stability and overall well-being for people with complex needs.
