“Youth empowerment supports (YES) - The youth empowerment program (YES)is for youth (ages 18-24) who are homeless or who are in danger of becoming homeless. We serve lower-to no-income individuals that are between the ages of 18 and 24. Through this program, we have provided youth with clean, safe and stable housing for four years now. The goal of the program is for our young people to achieve personal goals related to education and work. We also want to see them showing tenant responsibility through fiscal accountability and care of the unit. Each YES tenant has an apartment in which they reside on the second floor of the MMHSS facility in Waterville. Tenants are provided with an onsite, full-time, targeted case manager and a youth resident specialist. YES participants learn and grow through the program until they have the necessary tools to succeed in living independently in the community. Many of these individuals go on to achieve higher education goals, as well as career goals.”

“The process has not changed from the prior year.”

“Diversion Program - Our Diversion Program is an effective method of homeless prevention comprised of immediate assistance with problem solving the imminent loss of stable housing. In many cases this may include guidance and or mediation with landlords, referrals to legal resources, traditional benefits, family interventions, and case management. Diversion may also include a short burst of financial assistance that can keep a household housed such as one time rent payments, bill payments, assistance with household groceries, among other needs. Temporary Rapid Rehousing Program (TRRP) - The Mid-Maine Homeless Shelter is introducing the innovative rapid rehousing program, aimed at swiftly aiding individuals and families to transition out of homelessness and reintegrate into the community, thereby preventing future episodes of homelessness. This evidence-based intervention, developed within the housing first model, focuses on promptly securing housing for participants and offering comprehensive support to ensure housing stability. Upon enrollment in the program, participants will receive TRRP case management and navigation/landlord engagement services, tailored to assess their immediate needs and address any obstacles hindering their ability to secure and sustain housing. The core elements of the rapid rehousing program encompass housing identification, assistance with moving, rent support, and TRRP case management services. Notably, these services are independent of Mainecare, allowing participants to concurrently maintain external case management support.”
