Family Permanent Housing Program
Family Permanent Housing - A rapid rehousing intervention that accepts families who present complex barriers, and sleep on the streets, in their car, or in a shelter. Using a "Housing First" model, each family is considered as ready and deserving of the basic need of housing without prerequisites. FPH successfully cultivates local landlords to work with us to house high-barrier households. Each family gets into a rental unit within the first 30 days of program entry and is provided rent and assistance while the family works with a case manager on goals they identify (e.g. education, employment, etc.). In fye 9/30/23, FPH housed 79 families comprised of 228 individuals.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2022 – Sep 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.5MCoordinated Entry System for Housing

COVID 19 and other assistance - AM received an outpouring of donations and grant funding to assist community members suffering economic and other hardships arising from COVID 19. This work was added to the work of the Community Resource Connection Center (CRCC) which also provides an essential part of establishing permanent housing and employment-securing appropriate identifying documents (identification cards, birth certificates, and social security cards). Appropriate documentation is an eligibility requirement for all County- and State-funded housing programs; without appropriate documents, households are denied entry into the program and cannot receive services. The CRCC has been able to innovatively break down that barrier for families experiencing homelessness. In fye 9/30/23, AM issued 415 rent and utility assistance checks averaging $3,665.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesOct 1, 2022 – Sep 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.2M
