*What is systems navigation?
Systems navigation refers to the process of walking through barriers and obstacles to stability with one of our navigators. We have both a licensed social worker and a long-time street outreach specialist who will walk with you, step by step, to overcome the things in your life that are holding you back from going forward. Whether that is a Coordinated Entry Assessment, housing applications, referrals to other services such as Adult Mental Health, employment services, or legal aid, or simply helping you to fill out paperwork or read through documents you may be having difficulty with - we are here to help.
