PATRIOT SUPPORTIVE SERVICES INITIATIVE (PSI)
Promoting a Collaborative Approach
The Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is a community plan to organize and deliver housing and services to meet the specific needs of people who are homeless as they move to stable housing and maximum self-sufficiency.A community-wide commitment to facilitate movement towards permanent independent living, requires a long-range, collaborative and integrated approach in which like-minded organizations leverage respective core competencies and capabilities.
In the past, homeless services have been fragmented at best.CoC planning helps providers identify ways of linking resources to avoid duplication and facilitate movement toward self-sufficiency. PSI’s role in the CoC Program is to coordinate, collaborate and reciprocate services, effectively creating joint effort solutions to better address the Veteran as a whole.By developing local and national partnerships, PSG is able to support Veterans and their service providers through PHI & PTI and expand collective
PSI strives to foster an array of service offerings to Veterans by connecting with local VA Teams, Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) and other community resources that assist with employment, benefit claims, counseling services, food, clothing temporary housing, healthcare, education benefits and more.Veteran “Buy-in” is improved, community supportive services and programs thrive, and Veterans and their families ultimately benefit.
