Description
Funding for the continuance of Consuelo's Place Shelter will maintain the increased availability of short-term shelter services for LMI residents in Santa Fe that it has brought about since its opening in August 2020. Access to short-term shelter services will allow clients safe and stable short-term housing while they apply for vouchers, seek permanent housing situations and stabilize their housing situations. As long as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the shelter will also offer a select number of rooms to COVID positive clients so that they may self-isolate, quarantine, and prevent spread of the virus while they are symptomatic.
Case managers and staff at Consuelo's Place Shelter will aid clients in seeking jobs and needed documentation to obtain housing, find supportive resources and programs when needed and will network with case managers at other housing agencies in the city to ensure cross-communication in assisting clients with their various needs.
