Single Adult Homeless Services - What To Expect

After visiting an intake center, trained social services and professional staff will assess your unique needs and assign you to a shelter with expertise in addressing those needs. All programs are designed to help clients overcome homelessness.

Some of DHS' programs include counseling, case management, employment training, mental health rehabilitation, specialized services for veterans, substance abuse treatment, and various programs for the elderly. Social workers, employment specialists, housing/vocational counselors, and health coordinators work closely with clients in an individualized approach that aims to provide clients with the skills needed to achieve the highest level of self-sufficiency.

All adults entering the shelter system are expected to work with shelter staff to accomplish this goal. Clients will be asked to follow an Independent Living Plan, participate in programs that meet their needs, and follow shelter guidelines that keep clients and staff safe.
