Interns - Rapid Rehousing: 

Rapid Rehousing (RRH) is an intervention, informed by a Housing First approach that is a critical part of a community’s effective homeless crisis response system. RRH rapidly connects young adults 18-24 experiencing homelessness to housing with supportive services that includes supportive counseling, linking young adults to community resources, and the use of time-limited financial resources.  RRH assistance is offered without preconditions (such as employment, income, absence of criminal record, or sobriety) and services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the participant(s).


Fundamental goals of this RRH project are to reduce the amount of time a young adult experiences homelessness, thereby supporting a trajectory towards independence, self-sufficiency, housing stability, and contribution to self and community. 


YOUR POSSIBLE RESPONSIBILITIES AS AN INTERN:  

  • To accompany the RRH Coordinator in the community with clients and landlords. 
  • Learn skills of debriefing in order to be able to determine what went well and what did not. 
  • Record accurate data entry documenting indirect and direct time with clients.
  • To have an ongoing caseload of 2-3 youth and provide all necessary and appropriate services to them. 
  • Keep up-to-date files including written assessments and case plans.   
  • Attend community and agency meetings. 

Internships are a great way to develop hands-on job skills, create partnerships, become educated through real-life situations, and can lead to a permanent position after graduation.
