Personalized Assistance to Housing (PATH) update – 2024 Virtual Indigenous Homelessness Community Entities Gathering
Since May 2021, Indigenous people from coast-to-coast-to-coast have been leading the development of the PATH Process (Personalized Assistance To Housing) for Coordinated Access (CA) systems and the broader homelessness sector. A culturally informed alternative to commonly used mainstream tools in CA systems. It uses a relational approach rooted in a trauma-informed and strengths perspective that facilitates community-based wholistic supports and housing matching. It includes a prioritization and decision-making component.
