Housing

A single mother who was forced from her home due to plumbing issues and ended up on the streets. She has never experienced homelessness before this situation and had been sleeping in her car most of the time with some friends allowing her to stay at their places for one or two nights at random. She is working full-time and will be able to pay her rent in the coming months. This single mother received deposit and first month’s rent assistance because she was not able to save up money while being homeless. We were also able to assist her with personal care items and energy assistance as well to help this client receive a fresh start in a new apartment. She was so grateful to have assistance with the deposit and first month’s rent.

Stepping Stones

STEPPING STONES:

Stepping Stones is a community in Seaside for their unsheltered people. It was created by the City of Seaside so they will have a place to be. Seaside has banned camping in other areas of the city. The location is next to public works off Highway 101 and Avenue V. Seaside contracts with Clatsop Community Action to administer the daily operations of the Stepping Stones community. The property consists of 25 tent sites and 4 overflow sites. Stepping Stones is also pet friendly. Clatsop Community Action has staff on site who assists the members with moving toward a better life and connect with community resources. Some of the things staff provides is a case manager to help them move to shelter and eventually housing. Staff will also help them get needed documents such as identification and Social Security cards. Stepping Stones also works with Clatsop Behavioral Health and a doctor who provides on-site treatment for illness and injury. Clatsop Community Action Street Outreach offers nearby showers for the members and will eventually be offering laundry as well.

Coordinated Entry (CE) is a system that allows for coordinated entry into a local homeless services system, as well as coordinated movement within and ultimately exit from the system. Coordinated Entry increases the efficiency of a homeless assistance system by standardizing access to homeless services and coordinating program referrals.

The Rural Oregon Continuum of Care (ROCC) is committed to sustaining a CE system that will help to advance our goals of helping households quickly access appropriate services to address housing crises, increasing exits to housing, decreasing length of time homeless, and reducing returns to homelessness.
