The Early Intervention and Prevention (EIP) staff at MCCOY looks forward to having Debra Medeiros from the Coordinating Center and Ann Marie Grimberg from Heartland Alliance with the FACT program in Chicago to provide the keynote address at the first annual EIP Provider Fair. The Strengthening At-Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children Initiative is an innovative approach to providing intensive services for homeless young families. The program sites provide wrap-around services by co-locating staff, creating one intake process, sharing client files, holding case conference meetings, integrating services, providing home visiting services, and developing positive relationships with clients.
The Strengthening At-Risk and Homeless Young Mothers and Children Initiative aims to improve the housing, health, and development of at-risk and homeless mothers 18-25 years old who have at least one child 5 years or younger. The goals of the initiative are to improve the housing, health, and development of homeless and at-risk young families.
The Initiative is a partnership between the Conrad H. Hilton Foundation, The National Center on Family Homelessness, National Alliance to End Homelessness, and Zero to Three. There is a Coordinating Center comprised of experts from each of the national partners to provide the expertise needed to inform comprehensive interventions to at-risk and homeless young families. The Coordinating Center also provides technical assistance to the local programs to promote the replication of promising strategies.
The Initiative has four program sites:
