Services
Our goal is to help transition those experiencing homelessness into permanent, self-sustaining living by building a personal connection with each of these individuals.
Secure Identification
Many individuals lack basic identifiers like birth certificates, state ID cards and Social Security cards. These documents open doors to services like housing and employment, we have a team of social workers who work with individuals to obtain them.
Public Assistance
Most of our clients have limited incomes which is a qualifier for a variety of public services and benefits. These include Medicaid, food stamps and federal and state disability insurance, and cash assistance programs. Our staff help navigate the complex processes to apply for and secure these benefits.
Secure Housing
Housing assistance is extremely difficult to access and navigate. We have case management staff who assess the housing needs of individuals and develop a plan connecting them to appropriate and available housing resources. This includes researching housing options, contacting landlords, and helping clients navigate the housing application process.
Stay Housed
Once particularly vulnerable clients are housed, staff continues to provide the needed support as they transition to staying housed and self-sufficiency. These programs include representative payee services, occupational therapy, group therapy and assistance with daily basics like house cleaning and shopping.
Psychiatric Care
Behavioral Health and Addictions
Mental health care starts with a personalized, one-on-one, meeting with our skilled therapist. If a client seeks medication, or our therapist deem it beneficial for symptom management, a referral will be made for psychiatric assessment and treatment.
Through individual and group therapy, our therapists and addictions counselors work with clients to manage and improve symptoms. Together, we focus on managing symptoms, addressing the traumas associated with homelessness, treating substance use disorders, and facilitating ongoing support groups for those on their journey to sobriety.
We strive to improve the individual’s housing, health status, and social support network. We are knowledgeable of the resources and services available in this sector and surrounding regions that are applicable to these individuals and inform them of these opportunities.
Henning Inc. works with clients to identify specific financial, housing, health or emotional needs, and to provide necessary support and referrals. Residential support services are provided by Henning Inc. We also help low-income families and individuals determine public assistance needs, which programs they qualify for, and how to apply for benefits.
We thrive on impacting lives, and we are committed to ensuring our programs are targeted and results oriented. Measuring outcomes is a fundamental part of how we work. We track individuals across multiple programs, ensuring they have all the resources they need to be self-sufficient. We analyze our programs and our impact on participants so we can adjust and improve in real time.
