Engagement
During the engagement process, NMCAA focuses on locating, identifying and building relationships with people experiencing homelessness, with the purpose of providing immediate support. This happens through intervention and/or connection with the homeless assistance programs and/or mainstream social services and housing programs.
As the outreach team assesses individuals and situations for eligibility, they may receive crisis counseling, which further addresses urgent physical needs such as needing meals, blankets, clothes, or toiletries. Furthermore, this actively connects and provides information as well as referrals to programs targeted to people living in homelessness. NMCAA may be able to provide additional services by connecting individuals with emergency shelter, transitional housing, community-based services, permanent supportive housing, and/or rapid re-housing programs.
