Job Description
Concord, NH
Intern - Housing Programs/Host Homes:
Host Home Program (HHP) is a housing program within our Homeless Youth and Young Adult department. HHP is an intervention that is a critical part of a community’s effective homeless crisis response system. HHP connects young adults 18-24 experiencing homelessness to housing in a community host home with supportive services. These services include supportive counseling, linking young adults to community resources, and the use of time-limited financial resources. HHP is a higher barrier housing programs where applicants (hosts and guests) must meet a certain criteria and demonstrate readiness to be accepted into the program. Once accepted, services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the participant(s).
Fundamental goals of this HHP project are to reduce the amount of time a young adult experiences homelessness, thereby supporting a trajectory towards independence, self-sufficiency, housing stability, and contribution to self and community.
