“Ihs is hawaii's oldest, largest and most comprehensive human service agency focused exclusively on ending and preventing homelessness on oahu. The organization serves as a social service safety net for those who are homeless or at risk for homelessness in our community through our nine (9) core services that include emergency and specialty shelters, community meal and food programs, housing placement and support, specialized case management, family programs, health services, homeless outreach, employment support and public education. Our triage and assessment process helps staff tailor individualized service plans for each homeless individual and family in order to address the root causes of their homeless situation, and prepares clients to transition into housing with the goal of self-sufficiency. Ihs is also focused on advocacy and education to address the systemic causes of homelessness. Public and private funding in the form of grants, contract awards, individual philanthropy, and fee for service initiatives coupled with careful cost control allow us to continue vital programs and services despite the need for more resources. Community support further includes volunteer labor, in-kind donations, corporate collaborations and other non-financial contributions. We build capacity through ongoing staff development and training along with a focus on continuous process improvement. Since 2004, ihs has been accredited by the commission on accreditation of rehabilitation facilities (carf), which is an international third party nonprofit organization that rigorously assesses the quality of rehabilitation programs and organizational competencies in meeting governance and program standards.”
