Systems Developer VISTA - UWTC

SideWalk is the Thurston County Coordinated Entry site for shelter and housing services for homeless, childless adults. We work with individuals to assess their needs, brainstorm solutions and provide assistance in rehousing them as quickly as possible. Homelessness can be ended for one person for under $1,000 - total. SideWalk uses diversion and “rapid rehousing” programs - that has swept the nation in the last few years. Diversion is a program that moves someone off the streets and into the home of a family or friend Rapid rehousing is an approach to resolving homelessness that offers time-limited, small rental subsidies to assist homeless people to quickly move into housing, followed by intensive case management to ensure stability. It’s like offering a bottle of water to someone running a marathon - our clients work incredibly hard and we offer a small resource that boosts their success.
