Office of Emergency and Transitional Housing Services and Programs

Case Management:  Case management services are provided to assist the consumer in obtaining the basic practical services required for adequate living. The case manager and the consumer jointly identify social service needs and assess how much or what sort of assistance is needed. Jefferson Place staff is an integral part of procuring the services required, however, the consumer is encouraged to maintain these services on his own behalf.

Emergency Shelter:  Jefferson Place provides, free of charge, a supervised and secure emergency shelter for 150 homeless men. Each consumer is allowed a 120-day stay, per year, with a 12-month period between each stay. A day sleep period is provided for those consumers that work at night and have submitted required documentation as to their night schedule.

Follow-Up Services:  Follow-along contacts are maintained for all consumers who have successfully completed the program at Jefferson Place. The Case Manager seeks to have contact (face-to-face or telephone) with the consumer at least twice per month for the first three months and then once per quarter for three quarters. The Case Manager documents each contact and/or attempted contact in the consumer’s clinical record. Follow-along contacts are supportive and attempt to obtain information relative to job situation, living conditions, life changes, usefulness of Jefferson Place programming, and the current need for addition services.

Transitional Housing:  This award-winning program provides residential care to 50 non-drug using homeless men. The maximum length of stay is 24 months. The focus is geared towards coordinating a comprehensive array of interventions and services in a single treatment setting. The program provides support and structure as the consumer rebuilds a substance-free lifestyle, optimizes life functioning, addresses marital and other family issues, enriches job-functioning and financial management, and reintegrates them back into the community.
