Enhancing Pathways to Independent Housing: Implementing a Common Move-On Approach

Joint Strategic Needs Assessment of Homelessness in 2011 highlights the need for a common approach to support individuals in transitioning to independent housing. This initiative aims to build on existing successful programs and introduce a unified process for assessing readiness for independent living. Key mechanisms include YCH eligibility test, Gateway assessment, and Move-On Panel meetings. The goal is to ensure clients are prepared to move on to independent living effectively.
