Housing Navigation Services (HNS) has walk-in hours at
The Beacon, Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday 8am-4pm in Office 201. Housing Navigation Specialists are available via email and phone on Thursday and Friday.

​

In-person Housing Navigation Services are provided to people experiencing homelessness who are using shelter or living outside and not enrolled in another program who provides navigation services.

​

Housing Navigation staff focus on the following services:

• Identify barriers to housing and help develop a progress plan to overcome those barriers.

• Assist with the application process when looking for housing in the private market.

• Guide individuals and families with subsidized housing applications and opportunities.

• Help make connections to transitional housing programs, if needed.

​

For people who are doubled up (staying with others/not on the lease or self-paying in a hotel), or facing housing insecurity (in housing and need to move to a different apartment), they can access resources available on the Housing Navigation website.
