THN SOAR and Housing Stability VISTA (Lubbock)
 
 
 
The Texas Homeless Network (THN) works to provide solutions to end homelessness in Texas communities through education, resources, and advocacy. Currently, THN has VISTA members placed throughout the state working on capacity building and program development to assist communities in ending homelessness. This VISTA project will improve access to housing for youth and adults experiencing homelessness by implementing evidence-based programs that integrate housing, income, healthcare, and employment services. The VISTA member will engage community partners and conduct local outreach to help implement the SOAR (SSI/SSDI, Outreach, Access, and Recovery) program and wrap around programs for clients in Permanent Supportive Housing.
