HFH Supportive Housing properties are located throughout Brevard County. Currently, we have 93 units and manage a variety of housing to include permanent supportive, Section 8/VASH, and low income.
Healing FirstHousing for Homeless has partnered with both Health First and Parrish hospitals to provide safe shelter and supportive services to patients experiencing homelessness, who require off-site rehabilitations after discharge. The primary goal of the Healing First Program is to provide the patient with the environment and services needed to promote the patient’s recovery, self-sufficiency, and end to homelessness.
Through the Healing First Program, patients are referred to our organization, where they are immediately sheltered and begin an individualized housing and stabilization plan. This occurs while our medical partners ensure proper medical services are in place for the patient.
Through the individualized housing and stabilization plan, our Case Managers meet the patients where they are on their journey to self-sufficiency. Focus points include steps to ensure continuity of medical care, as well as steps to obtain identification documents, a source of income, and a housing solution. The Case Manager also utilizes any community resources or services for which the patient may qualify to promote the success of their housing and stabilization process.
