Our philosophy and practices are housing focused and stability centered. We pair access to housing with supports that strengthen long-term stability, well-being, and opportunities for self-sufficiency.

Our CoC is committed to a housing-focused approach grounded in stability, personalized support, and strong partnerships with landlords and community organizations. These elements help ensure that people not only access housing quickly, but also have the tools and resources to maintain it long-term.

A housing-focused system is a proven, research-supported method for ending homelessness. It prioritizes helping individuals and families secure safe, stable housing as an essential first step. Once housed, people are far more successful in addressing health, employment, and personal challenges because they have the security of a home.

Our member agencies provide a coordinated range of wrap-around services designed to make homelessness in Okaloosa and Walton counties rare, brief, and nonrecurring.

Meet Crisis Needs: Emergency shelter and street outreach programs make sure people experiencing homelessness have immediate access to safety, basic needs, and support.
Find/Retain Housing: Partner agencies offer housing navigation, landlord engagement, and financial assistance to help people secure or keep their housing. Wrap-around services promote long-term housing stability.
Stabilize: Rapid Rehousing and Permanent Supportive Housing programs combine rental assistance with individualized case management, benefits access, and connections to community resources that support lasting stability and well-being.

Through these coordinated efforts, our community works together to ensure that every person has access to safe, stable housing, supporting stronger and safer communities for all.

By contributing to HHA you are are filling gaps, fostering collaboration, and bringing best practices to the organizations who are delivering services to families and individuals experiencing homelessness.
