Housing First, Inc., now operating under the name HOPE for All Gulf Coast, is a non-profit organization in southwest Alabama dedicated to ending homelessness. Their approach is rooted in the "Housing First" philosophy, an evidence-based model that prioritizes providing immediate, permanent housing to individuals and families experiencing homelessness, without prerequisites like sobriety or participation in services. This is based on the belief that a stable home is a fundamental necessity for individuals to address other challenges and improve their quality of life. Housing First, Inc. offers various housing programs, including permanent supportive housing and rapid re-housing, along with voluntary supportive services such as case management, mental health services, employment assistance, and family support, all aimed at promoting housing stability and long-term well-being. They emphasize client choice and self-determination in both housing selection and service engagement.
