Keeping people housed after move-in.

Getting a household into a unit is the first step; keeping them there once the subsidy ends is the goal. Housing Stabilization Case Management provides intensive support during the exact months when households are most likely to succeed if helped — and most likely to return to homelessness if not.

“Most evictions back into homelessness happen 6–24 months after a housing exit — this arc catches the failure points before they become evictions.”

The key elements

• 01A 12-month, phased arc — Engagement & Assessment, Transition (Months 1–3, high touch), Try-Out (Months 4–8), Transfer (Months 9–12), plus a Durham-added Month 13 Readiness phase.
• 02Three stabilization goals — income generation, budget discipline, and the activation of natural supports, the factors most predictive of whether housing holds.
• 03A Housing Plan as the anchor — a monthly budget, an income strategy, and a documented path to the household assuming 100% of rent by Month 12.
• 04Multiple providers, one model — distributed capacity with identical policies and fidelity expectations.
• 05A single point of entry — through the Coordinated Entry administrator.
