Coordinate various plans among appropriate community partners, particularly in the areas Family Services, Reach-Up, and employment related supports. Engage in general advocacy with a focus on the goal of successfully obtaining permanent and safe housing for clients.
Develop opportunities for employment for FSH participants in collaboration with the local employment consultants and job coaches.
