“Case management, mental health, and substance abuse services and meals are available to shelter guests. Case managers link shelter guests to alternative year round emergency shelters as well as transitional and permanent housing programs. They assist guests with dental and medical referrals. A-SPAN's Employment Coordinator assists individuals seeking stable employment. Mental health and substance abuse therapists are available through our partnership with Arlington County's Treatment on Wheels program. A-SPAN is working to end homelessness in Arlington by providing shelter, basic hygiene and health needs and, most importantly, moving people into homes. The Arlington Homeless Services Center is the first of its kind in the DC Metro area, and a powerful resource. It is more than just a shelter. The Center allows us to offer all of our services under one roof for the first time, including food, shelter, full-time nurse practitioner and medical respite program, counseling and job training. But, most importantly, the HSC will help us shorten the amount of time it takes to move someone from homeless to a home.”
