PILLARS OF SERVICE
Step Up delivers compassionate support to individuals, families, young adults, and veterans, through three pillars of service:
Permanent housing
Step Up uses the Housing First model to connect individuals experiencing chronic homelessness to housing. Housing First is a proven approach in which all individuals experiencing homelessness are believed to be housing-ready.
supportive services
Step Up services help members improve their physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Programs include mental health services, psychiatric services, life-skills supports, and other health and wellness programs.
community integration
Step Up offers many programs to support our members in finding a meaningful role within their community, such as employment, school, or volunteering. Our person-centered approach helps members achieve their self-directed goals.
