Background:
The Hennepin County Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation (DOCCR) issued an RFP last fall for Adult and Juvenile Supportive Housing Services. The RFP sought proposals to provide transitional housing for clients recently released from incarceration and in need of full supportive care with their transition back into the community or clients who are experiencing housing instability. Transitional, supportive housing for DOCCR clients is a key component of stabilizing clients to reducing recidivism risks, support finding employment, maintaining physical and mental health, and jump-starting positive change.
Al-Maa’uun’s services will align with the needs of the transitional housing population by addressing barriers and personal challenges related to housing insecurity. They utilize individual assessments which address all identified needs-housing, mental health, substance abuse, life skills, and legal. The initial assessment allows them to meet their needs through wrap-around services.
