Community Housing Programs and Resources

DCYF works with other organizations to increase access to housing. Groups like:

• Coordinated Entry (CE) helps households experiencing a housing crisis by providing access to the most appropriate housing through a standardized assessment, prioritization, and referral process
   

• Foundational Community Supports (FCS) resources (Funded by the Health Care Authority) is a program that offers benefits for supportive housing and employment for those who are 16 and older, qualify for Apple Health, and have complex needs.

  Participants are helped with:

  • Finding and keeping jobs
  • Getting stable, independent housing
  • Learning the necessary skills to be successful
