Our Programs and Services

House of Dignity 1 & 2

FTS provides transitional housing and supportive services for a minimum of fifteen households comprised of disabled and non-disabled women in SPA-6 who are victims of domestic violence. The program provides and coordinates on- and off-site supportive services through a network of service providers

Transitional Housing

FTS also focuses on the provision of transitional housing and supportive services, including social model substance abuse recovery services, to homeless, mentally ill, and substance-abusing men in South Central Los Angeles

Winter Shelter

FTS operates three winter shelters (SPA 5) for LAHSA between October and March. The WSP is instituted annually during the coldest and wettest months. These three sites offer people experiencing homelessness with temporary overnight shelter meals and help connecting to supportive services and stable housing

Rapid Rehousing

Rapid re-housing is an intervention, informed by the Housing First module, that is a critical part of a community’s effective response to the homeless crisis. Rapid re-housing rapidly connects families and individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing through an individual-tailored package of assistance that may include the use of time-limited financial assistance and supportive services.

Housing Navigation

Housing Navigation is the largest component of our work in helping individuals and families !nd appropriate housing that suits their specific needs. Each client has unique housing needs, constraints, and preferences. When a person is referred to Housing Navigation, a Housing Coordinator helps to create an individual housing plan with input from the client and everyone involved with that person is plan of care. Housing Coordinators help clients with their decision-making by discussing their finances, credit history, supportive service needs, household composition, and other background relevant to their housing choices.

DHS

Housing for Health is for homeless Health Services patients with complex medical and behavioral health conditions. Coordinated Entry System Access Centers are call-in or drop-in places where people experiencing homelessness can gain initial access to or continue contact with housing and supportive services and referrals to Interim Housing programs for persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Referrals to emergency services (domestic violence, emergency physical and mental health care) and other supportive services (mental health, workforce development, etc.). Referrals to, or direct provision of, basic services such as food provision, storage, and hygiene services

Family Crisis Housing

Some of the primary objectives of the program are to offer housing, medical, and supportive services, facilitate family reunification, improve health, and promote self-sufficiency and economic independence among families

Department of Mental Health

Individuals who are homeless can access any DMH services, including urgent care centers, psychiatric hospitals, emergency response, community-based outpatient clinics, and homeless outreach. All programs are expected to help clients meet recovery goals, including housing goals, by completing the Coordinated Entry System survey and entering it into the Specialized DMH programs that target individuals who are homeless.

Warm Handoff

Enables community-based organizations to deliver reentry services for eligible participants. Case managers identify the needs of individuals and refer them to services such as medical and mental health care, substance abuse treatment, legal services, and workforce development centers. These services, in combination with the Housing and Services Plan, aim to eliminate obstacles and help ensure that participants can secure permanent housing.

Permanent Housing

Provides long-term rentals for housing homeless and chronically homeless individuals and families. The program targets vulnerable populations such as seniors, families, transition-aged youth, and veterans. All who suffer from homelessness are welcome.

Time Limited Subsidy

The Time Limited Subsidies and Prevention programs support low-income residents and families who remain rent-burdened. The program is designed to help individuals, youth, and families achieve housing stability and prevent homelessness or reentry into homelessness.

OUR MISSION

 We exist to make a difference in the Los Angeles Community; our mission is to provide comprehensive substance abuse treatment recovery services and supportive services to economically disadvantaged individuals that suffer from substance abuse, mental illness, and homelessness.
