Our Model

The H.E.R.O.E.S Model

Services

 We develop and provide services which strives to accomplish The Village Connect’s mission, Vision, and objectives. Our team works to identify gaps in services for the client and various underserved communities and utilize this knowledge to develop creative and alternative solutions to common barriers to stability, independence, and self-sufficiency through our HEROES Program. We focus on 6 key areas to provide stability to our clients through Health, Environment, Resources, Occupational, Educational, and Social support. 

​

  • We Work directly with clients and other homeless service providers. 

  • We identify problems in the homeless community and develop ways to solve them. 

  • We leverage and optimize local resources inside and outside of homeless services. 

  • We build pathways of stability for respective areas of need represented by our model.

  • We develop a thorough understanding of homeless services, episodic homeless population, policies, and current research and statistics.
