Diversion
“I'm getting evicted at the end of the month!”
Considered to be the “front door” of the homelessness system, diversion services offer help to people who need immediate action to stay off the streets. Many of the services used to prevent homelessness are also leveraged to quickly divert it.
Local diversion efforts include:
- Short-term case management
- Safe housing search
- Legal aid
- Rent and utility payment assistance
- Connection to mental health and substance abuse treatment
