The aim of the program is to work collaboratively with clients on case plans that address issues that have led to their current homelessness period. This support may include referral to specialist services and universal services as well as direct work to facilitate consumers’ ability to develop skills to achieve housing sustainability.
TOST supports consumers in identifying their strengths and resources, whilst recognising options that may assist in obtaining affordable, safe, long-term housing best matching their needs. The Team and respective consumers jointly develop a case plan to achieve their goals. Case management support is also provided to children within families.
TOST receives its referrals from Have Home Safe, an Access Point located in Preston that services the NEMA catchment. Homeless people will arrive at Haven Home Safe seeking housing and support around their homelessness issues and undergone an initial assessment. On receipt of a referral, TOST workers will attempt to contact the consumer or nominated contact person to make an appointment and begin the delivery of case management support.
Specific Referrals:
Intensive Case Management response provides medium-term support and brokerage funds for people with high and complex needs who are experiencing homelessness and find it challenging to access generalist and specialist services. This program is for Indigenous Australians – Families, Singles and Couples with complex needs. Intake takes place after a consultative assessment with the clients, Aboriginal hostel staff and an ICM Worker.
