Community Navigation

Changing the conversation

HomewardBound operates in a trauma-informed environment, which meets each person where they’re at by asking, “What happened to you?” instead of “What’s wrong with you?”

Our case management team takes a person-centric approach to each client, helping guests navigate governmental benefits, access services referrals, and secure/maintain permanent housing through individualized service plans to overcome barriers.

A trauma-informed approach acknowledges the need to consider a complete picture of an individual’s life situation — past and present — to provide effective services with a healing orientation.
