Going Home
512-516-3812
The Going Home program utilizes case management and minimal, one-time transportation expenses to reconnect people experiencing homelessness to loved ones in order to rapidly divert individuals from homelessness. Program participants are offered one-time transportation expenses including fare and food, along with case management to help find a stable community to travel to. People served by Going Home receive three months of follow up care after arrival at their destination.
How it works
This program will follow an established model from our friends Grace at the Green Light in New Orleans, who have sent home 2,500 individuals with 72% sustained housing after three months. Measures of success include the number of persons sent home and stability of the home after follow-up in a week, month and three months. Individuals served will be referred by TOOF staff or community homeless service organizations.
