Crisis to Stability
The Crisis to Stability (C2S) program works with individuals who recently experienced homelessness and are transitioning into permanent housing, or are at risk of losing their current housing. This 9-month program utilizes Critical Time Intervention and Peer Support to ensure that participants are connected to longer-term supports and services needed to successfully maintain housing. C2S is grant-funded, non-billable, and can work in conjunction with any other services or programs.
