2 Our Promise
“We promise anyone that comes to us for
help to get out of a crisis of
homelessness, that if they trust us and
work with us, we will help get them out of
that crisis, stably housed, and moving
toward self‐sufficiency.”
What We’ve
Learned
Homelessness is a public health and humanitarian
crisis. It’s a multi ‐faceted problem that demands
multi‐faceted solutions.
Cities and states are discovering you can’t arrest or
even build your way out of homelessness. Impacting
and ending homelessness is a process that must be
started and sustained if we expect to see any
measurable success.
POLM offers more than a sandwich, shower and
somewhere safe to sleep. POLM delivers a
comprehensive menu of s ervices and implements
evidence‐based interventions and best ‐practices
that effectively help individuals and families end
their homeless crisis.

3 Evidence‐
Based
Strategies
POLM employs a person‐centered approach to ending homelessness. We meet people where they are, but we don’t leave them there!
Harm Reduction/Progressive Engagement
Being homeless does not mean people forfeit their human rights. Everyone should be able to access services without having to overcome unnecessary barriers and discriminatory regulations. All POLM shelters are low ‐barrier. At POLM we meet people where they are and encourage positive change in their lives. We also do our best to tailor assistance to each individual or household’s needs, assessing what works best for them in their specific situation.
Housing First/Housing Problem Solving
Our goal is to quickly and successfully connect individuals and families experiencing homelessness to permanent housing without preconditions and barriers to entry. Once they are housed, supportive services are offered in their home to help them maintain their housing. We also explore creative, flexible, safe, and cost ‐effective solutions to quickly resolve the housing crisis — even if just temporarily — with limited or no fi nancial support. We help identify potential safe housing options – such as returning to a prior residence, staying with friends or family, or securing a new tenancy – and then work with the household to determine the necessary steps to make that housing option a reality.
