This report describes the Boley Homelessness Prevention Project which is part of the federal Homelessness Prevention Program. Set in West Central Florida, the program was developed in response to the community's need for stable and supportive housing for individuals who have experienced homelessness or been at risk of homelessness, have severe mental illness, and may or may not also have substance abuse disorders. Specifically, the intervention is the provision of: (1) assistance in finding an apartment and in negotiating a lease agreement; (2) support services aimed at helping people become established in their home, including anything from locating household supplies to budget assistance; and (3) linkages to services either within the Boley organization or with other agencies to meet the social, medical, clinical, and vocational needs and goals of the client.
