| Stoughton Area Resource Team (START) - 2015 |
Amount Funded: $5,000.00 |
| START builds a focused case management program for households engaged in eviction prevention. The service plan or “plan” is the tool that is used to overcoming barriers and achieving stability, and reaching intended goals. Case management includes a detailed assessment and plan that always includes steps for immediate stabilization. The plan that is developed includes both immediate and long term action steps and goals along with resources that would be helpful in goal achievement. A plan to prevent eviction and stabilize future housing includes a rent budget and often involves connecting with the landlord. Employment, transportation, and health are all possible issues that may present over time as barriers to achieving stability and meeting goals. The plan is then modified and updated as needed with input from the client. |

Housing - advocacy, referrals for transitional programs, security deposits, eviction prevention assistance, mortgage assistance, housing counseling and mediation, and budget counseling. 2.)
