Wayne Homeless Network Project
The Wayne Homeless Network Project provides a comprehensive range of services to homeless individuals and families in Out Wayne County and was innovatively designed based on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care model. The project demonstrates that in a designated geographic area, a Continuum of Care system can efficiently provide a full spectrum of services through an effective collaboration of partners and resources. In 2000, the Out-Wayne County Homeless Services Coalition was awarded a "Best Practice" recognition for the Wayne Homeless Network Project. The project includes outreach, case management, transitional housing, transportation, permanent housing placement, and direct linkage to appropriate services as required. These services may include but not be limited to mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, school advocacy, and employment services.
The Wayne Homeless Network Project is a formal partnership between Wayne-Metro and The Salvation Army, Travelers Aid Society, Christnet, Downriver Community Conference, and ACCESS.
