Details: Homeless individuals and families often face multiple burdens such as unstable living situations and inadequate support networks. Research has demonstrated that housing linked with services is the only strategy that is successful in reducing homelessness. The Chrysalis Project is designed to meet the transitional housing and developmental needs of homeless families and their children, as well as single women. The project involves five elements: extended shelter and supportive case management services; comprehensive assessment of strengths, resources, and needs and development of a guest-driven, applicable plan for services and programming; practical onsite educational opportunities for guests; frequent reinforcement of newly learned positive behavior; and referral and linkage to community-based services and supports. The goal is to decrease homelessness, improve individual functioning, and enhance community-based support networks of participants.
