Does an APS worker locate housing for the homeless or individuals being evicted from their homes?

Yes.  The APS Home Safe Program was established by Assembly Bill 1811 to support the safety and housing stability of individuals involved in Adult Protective Services by providing housing-related assistance using evidence-based practices for homeless assistance and prevention.  The Home Safe Program offers a range of strategies to prevent homelessness and support ongoing housing stability for APS clients.  Strategies include housing-related intensive case management, short-term housing related financial assistance, deep cleaning to maintain safe housing, eviction prevention, landlord mediation and more.   The Home Safe program will operate through June 2024.
