What is the pathways project?
The Pathways Project encompasses the services that Housing El Dorado provides to our unhoused community members. Pathways includes the Homelessness Prevention Program, Street Outreach, Showers, and the Inclement Weather Lodging Program
Street Outreach
In collaboration with Green Valley Community Church, Housing El Dorado coordinates a Street Outreach Program that provides a consistent resource for connecting our guests to a hot shower and the clothes closet by providing reliable transportation to these services every Friday.
Our staff and volunteers meet our clients where they are at with services appropriate to their needs, such as:
- Becoming "Doc Ready" (ID, birth certificate, etc.)
- Completing social service applications and referrals
- Accessing Coordinated Entry
- Advocating on their behalf
- Case Management
- Accessing the Street Nurse with Marshall Hospital
- Providing hair-cuts
The Homeless Prevention Program prevents or ends homelessness or housing crises for people seeking assistance by helping them identify immediate alternate housing arrangements and, if necessary, connecting them with the services and financial assistance to help them return to permanent housing.
This program made possible by the EDOK CoC.
We provide essential safety, shelter, and resources for our unhoused neighbors during harsh weather conditions. We will be providing motel vouchers to clients between December 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
