Their Rapid Rehousing team work tirelessly to build relationships over time with these challenging young people. Working on a Housing First model, they believe that with a stable base, a young person will be better able to address other issues in their life, so they work with their partners to house the young people as soon as possible, providing some stability where there was none.
