Thrive Central Oregon will grow to meet current and future demand for services from Central Oregonians who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by expanding our ability to provide creative affordable housing solutions. We will do this by scaling up our existing service delivery model in existing locations and expanding into North Klamath. Thrive’s service delivery model has proven successful. Our caseworkers meet with clients at convenient public locations such as libraries, which provides cost advantages and allows us to leverage funding into more direct client service hours. Solving Central Oregon’s housing crisis will take creative solutions. Thrive has shown an ability not only to work with traditional affordable housing alternatives such as HUD-subsidized public housing and Section 8 voucher programs offered through Housing Works, but also to develop out-of-the-box housing solutions—including using low-income loans and grants, placement in other affordable housing, access to security deposit assistance, and eviction prevention services—to keep people in their homes. Thrive provides respectful engagement and connection to a range of services that directly impact social determinants of health by addressing socioeconomic factors such as housing, poverty, and inequitable access to community resources.
