Description
HOMELESS COORDINATED ENTRY AGENCY: Offers assistance to Harford County residents in need of shelter due to experiencing housing insecurities. An application must be completed and submitted to the Supportive Services Program (SSP) Department for an intake into Coordinated Entry System programming of Harford County. The SSP application is available on the HCAA website or in-person at the 1321-B Woodbridge Station Way direct service office location.
Intakes will be completed within 24-48 hours based on the time of submission. Please, to the best of your ability, make sure the contact information on the application is legible so the SSP Staff can make contact.
HOMELESS SERVICES: Provides assistance with emergency shelter placement and permanent supportive housing for individuals and families. Programmatic bed capacity is very limited and may not be available upon request. Staff maintains a waitlist for this resource. Also provides Street Outreach to include Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH). The PATH Program is administered by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), a component of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The PATH Program is a voluntary program that aims to serve individuals with serious mental illness, including co-occurring substance use disorders, who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless."
**The SSP Department does not have funds for motel vouchers at any time. If the Freezing Weather Plan (Code Blue) is activated, HCAA will assist Harford County residents who are unsheltered into a designated warming center. Note: The warming center does have a capacity of 30.
