For individuals enrolled in Washington Apple Health (Medicaid) who need long-term support with employment or housing. These services are not time-limited. We stay with you for as long as you need us.
Supported Employment is long-term, individualized help getting and keeping a job. Unlike time-limited employment services, this program stays with you for as long as you need it. We help with everything from figuring out what kind of work you want to do, to finding the right job, to coaching you through your first months on the job and beyond.
Who is this for?
We start by getting to know you. What kind of work interests you? What has worked or not worked in the past? What does your ideal day look like? We use this to build a realistic employment plan.
We go out and find opportunities that match your goals. This includes reaching out to employers, identifying openings, and sometimes creating custom positions that play to your strengths.
We help you with applications, resumes, interview prep, and anything else you need to land the right position. We do this alongside you, not for you.
Once you are hired, we provide hands-on coaching at your workplace. We help you learn your tasks, navigate coworker dynamics, and communicate with your supervisor.
After you settle in, we do not disappear. We check in regularly, troubleshoot problems, and provide support for as long as you need it. There is no time limit on this service.
Supportive Housing helps you find a place to live, get settled, and stay stable long-term. Whether you are currently without housing, at risk of losing your home, or transitioning out of a facility, we provide hands-on support with everything from apartment searches to lease negotiations to connecting you with community resources. This service is not time-limited.
Who is this for?
We start by understanding your current situation. Where are you now? What are your barriers? What kind of housing makes sense for your needs and budget?
We help you find available units, fill out applications, gather required documents, and navigate waitlists. We do this with you, not behind the scenes.
Once you are approved, we help with lease review, move-in logistics, budgeting for deposits and first month costs, and connecting you with furniture or household resources if needed.
We serve as a point of contact between you and your landlord when needed. If issues come up around rent, repairs, or lease terms, we help mediate and resolve them.
After you are housed, we continue checking in. We help with budgeting, connecting you to healthcare and mental health services, crisis planning, and building the daily skills that keep you housed long-term. There is no time limit.
