“My fondest memory is of the first time a client asked me for help. I had only been working for a month. He isn't really one who talks much and rarely asks for help. I remember he was having a difficult time putting on his clothes. He looked at me and waved me closer, saying ‘Help. Help.' After helping, he looked at me and said ‘Yay!' I felt so happy to know that one of my clients felt that he could trust me and come to me for assistance.” -Adrian, QIDP

Ensure services are documented (e.g. face to face, phone and collateral contacts) in all relevant databases in a timely and thorough manner
Assist in budgeting with participants, and determine what level of minimal assistance is necessary to be successfully housed or have housing crisis resolved
Facilitate access to YCES for participants, as appropriate, including the completion of the Initial Triage and Initial Assessment phases of system access and assessment
