H 2 Lenawee provides emergency shelter (ES) programs for homeless families with minor children in the household. In addition to emergency shelter, H 2 Lenawee provides daily case management, life skills training, and support services, such as laundry facilities, transportation assistance and much more. The ES program is provided at no cost to the family. The goal of the ES program is to assist homeless families in overcoming barriers on a successful journey to permanent housing. Short-term motel sheltering may be provided for persons that cannot be served by current Lenawee County shelter programs.
Housing First Program H 2 Lenawee partners with our Lenawee County community with proactive measures to prevent homelessness from occurring and to aid those who are faced with homelessness. H2Lenawee may assist with first month's rent, past due rent and mortgage foreclosure. An in-depth assessment is made regarding a client’s financial and housing situation. Case management, client outreach, landlord mediation, budgeting, housing search and referrals along with other support services are provided in this program. The goal of this program is to prevent or reduce the amount of time a household is homeless.
H 2 Lenawee has units of transitional housing (TH) for families who have minor children in the household. The TH program provides affordable housing for up to two (2) years as well as support services, life skills training, and weekly case management. The goal of the TH program is to stabilize each family and assist them with overcoming barriers to permanent housing and therefore encouraging lifelong self sufficiency.
Permanent Supportive Housing Program (For chronically homeless individuals.) The Permanent Housing (PH) program is is for individuals who have an extensive history of homelessness and who have significant barriers to housing, such as a long term disability. The PH program offers ongoing case management, support services and in some situations a rental subsidy. The goal of the PH program is to help stabilize individuals in permanent housing and increasing their self-sufficiency.
