Other Community Housing Services
Other Community Housing Services organizations coordinate intake for emergency shelter, transitional housing and supportive housing programs. They match individuals and families to available beds or units, schedule move-ins, track compliance with program rules, manage case notes and coordinate with suppliers for maintenance and furnishings. Intake forms, waitlists, inspections, lease paperwork and grant reporting stay with program staff.
