Family Support Services helps to link your family experiencing homelessness (with children under the age of 18) to housing and many other services. Our experienced and dedicated staff are familiar with the unique obstacles families experiencing homelessness may face and work to provide resources and support throughout the housing process. Our goal is to work with you on your goals to achieve stability and help your family to overcome barriers and thrive.

Access to our Rapid Rehousing program is now completed through the OneHome Coordinated Entry System. To complete the assessment known as the “VI-SPDAT”, please speak with your current homeless service provider.
Family walk-ins* occur every Monday except the first Monday of each month and can intake 6 new families a week. To ensure that everyone has an equal chance of connecting with case management, we randomly select 6 families at 8:30am on Mondays.
If a family shows up before 8:30am to 2100 Broadway, their names will be added to the list we randomly select from.
If a client comes in 3 times within a four-week span and does not get selected, they will be scheduled with a case manager. It is the client's responsibility to tell the front desk if they have been in three times so they can verify and let the case management team know.
*The program is specifically for families with at least 50% custody of children under the age of 18 years old.
