Keep in Mind…
Use a Housing First Approach
Assistance should be flexible and tailored to the household
Provide “just enough assistance” maximizes the # of households served

Progressive Engagement
NAEH says…
…a strategy of providing a small amount of assistance to everyone entering the homelessness system. For most households, a small amount of assistance is enough to stabilize, but for those who need more, more assistance is provided.
Simply put, the lightest touch possible.
