Connect To Home (CTH) Connecting YOUth Intervention seeks to prevent and address homelessness and promote housing stability for youth with experience in the child welfare system. In addition, strategies developed in this intervention package also intend to promote permanency/social connections, education/employment success, and well-being. The CTH program is a supportive housing model working to support youth and/or parenting youth, ages 18 - 21 at intake, who are currently involved or had past involvement with the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P). These youth must be homeless or at risk of homelessness. This housing first program model supplements safe and stable housing for at-risk young adults with voluntary supportive services. Youth in this program are able to secure housing with no strings attached. That is, tenure in housing is not contingent upon participation in program services, and program rules are similar to those found in housing for the general population and do not restrict visitors or interfere with a life in the community. Youth may freely choose from a range of different types of support services they wish to receive based on their individual needs and preferences. Youth not interested in participating in program services will receive routine visits from staff, to provide resource information, ensure their needs are being met and readily engage them in services should they choose to participate at a later date.
