Our Approaches

GHF is a permanent supportive housing agency that prioritizes housing units for those who are often not housed in the current models of housing. This framework requires collaboration, coordination, and intentionality.

We use the following approaches to housing:

HOUSING FIRST IS AN APPROACH THAT IS CENTERED ON THE BELIEF THAT EVERYONE CAN ACHIEVE STABILITY IN PERMANENT HOUSING DIRECTLY FROM HOMELESSNESS. LAYING THAT FOUNDATION, PEOPLE CAN PURSUE THEIR OTHER GOALS FROM INSIDE THEIR HOME.

Housing First Approach

HARM REDUCTION HOUSING REFERS TO A SUPPORTIVE HOUSING MODEL THAT PRIORITIZES THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF INDIVIDUALS THAT USE SUBSTANCES BY PROVIDING A SAFE AND STABLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN ACCESS SERVICES AND SUPPORT TO REDUCE POSSIBLE HARMS SUCH AS HAVING NARCAN ONSITE.

Harm Reduction Approach

TRAUMA-INFORMED HOUSING IS AN APPROACH THAT RECOGNIZES AND RESPONDS TO THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAUMA, CREATING A SAFE AND EMPOWERING LIVING ENVIRONMENT THAT PROMOTES HEALING, RESILIENCE, AND RECOVERY.

Trauma Informed Approach

THE HOUSING IS HEALTHCARE MODEL RECOGNIZES THE CRITICAL ROLE OF STABLE AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING IN PROMOTING BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES. BY PROVIDING SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING ALONGSIDE COORDINATED SERVICES, THIS MODEL AIMS TO IMPROVE OVERALL WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR TENANTS.
