Supportive Services

Housing Advocacy

Our Supportive Housing Advocates work directly with clients to provide personalized guidance and support on their journey to housing stability. The Inn uses a strengths-based approach to advocacy work, which views residents as resourceful and resilient in the face of adversity.

Our advocates work with each Head of Household to design a “Success Plan.” This tool prompts the resident to identify their personal goals and set a plan to meet them. This plan is revised at 6-month reviews and program exit. Throughout a resident's time at The Inn, they can reach out to their Advocate for help with navigating and identifying community resources.
