Alternative Response Housing Initiative (ARHI)
Back to Programs
The Alternative Response Housing Initiative (ARHI) provides short-term case management services that assist families in assessing their ongoing needs and provides support as they develop solutions to become self-sufficient.
- Provide 60 days of initial assistance: this may involve supports like rental/mortgate/move-in assistance, utility assistance, extermination, junk removal, cleaning supplies, beds/bedding and more
- Connect families to resources, including short-term financial assistance, financial literacy and other community resources
- Work with families to develop a stability plan for maintaining household needs beyond initial assistance
