The HARPS (Housing and Recovery through Peer Services) program was launched in 2015 and continues to provide Rapid Housing and services to families and individuals with behavioral and substance abuse disorders. The County will also be investing in the implementation of a SOARS (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery) system to ensure that disabled persons, including those are being discharged from institutions, relate to social security benefits as quickly as possible so that they can have better access to housing opportunities.
HARPS’ goal is to help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
