Referrals for this program come from the Prioritization List in the Coordinated Entry (CE) of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) of NH.
Young people from this list are further assessed by Waypoint. The Host Home Coordinator then recruits and matches a qualified young person to a host who commits to providing housing for up to 12 months. This host may be a natural support already in the young person’s life, or it may be a new community member volunteer. All hosts are screened and assessed and will receive a monthly stipend to help offset the cost of another person staying in their home.
The Host Home Coordinator provides ongoing support to both young adults and their hosts for the duration of their participation.
