WEEKDAY OVERNIGHTS
Position
Inspirica's various housing programs seek to take steps towards breaking the cycle of homelessness. Our staff collaborate to help move our clients towards obtaining an income (most often through employment), and then towards obtaining housing. Throughout the process, Inspirica staff collaborates closely with our agency partners, including but not limited to: mental health, substance abuse, and medical treatment facilities.
Our goal is to successfully transition participants to permanent housing in the community and to help them sustain this housing permanently. We accomplish this by addressing not just the physical housing part of homelessness, but all of the reasons a participant is homeless. This includes providing education and employment services internally and collaborating with a vast array of external partners to provide medical/dental care, mental health care, substance abuse treatment etc.
