Worksheet: Menu of Housing Interventions for Families

This worksheet provides an overview of the most common housing models and interventions, from short-term housing to long-term housing. It is important to provide families with timely access to housing options that meet their unique needs. However, communities often have limited housing resources and mismatches between family needs and available housing options. This worksheet helps community leaders understand the various housing models and identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities within their current family housing resources. By identifying these gaps, communities can develop strategies that keep families stably housed.
