Move Beyond Crisis

A Good Idea

Description

Move Beyond Crisis provides a number of services to people who are in immediate need of housing and emotional support. Case management is provided to individuals and families for referrals, shelter, assistance in enrolling in benefits, and goal-setting for needed next steps. Shelter beds can be reserved for single days or 90 day periods on a first-come, first-served basis. The program provides rental assistance for families who may need help with back rent, security deposits, and other major expenses. Additionally, emergency clothing vouchers are offered once a month and food and household items vouchers are offered once every six months.

Goal / Mission

Move Beyond Crisis is a walk-in-center that helps individuals and families find emergency housing and support services, including food vouchers, clothing, and benefits.

Results / Accomplishments

Case management, shelter reservations, rental assistance, and vouchers are available on an ongoing basis. 96% of people reserving shelter beds rated the services good or excellent.

A Good Idea meets the following HCI criteria:

  1. The program description includes: the sponsoring organization, program goals, program funding source, program implementation steps and outcomes.
  2. The program evaluation is limited to descriptive measure(s) of success/accomplishment (i.e., program participation rates, number of services/education sessions/radio messages provided). Note: oftentimes, the program has been newly implemented and a program evaluation has not yet been conducted. Programs that have not yet been evaluated, but which show promise in improving health or quality of life, are classified as Good Ideas until an evaluation is conducted.
