Tent City Residents Find New Hope Through Housing Program

The Unsheltered Pilot Program, launched in partnership with the Association for Individual Development (AID), has seen significant progress six months after a series of fires forced residents from Tent City to relocate. Behavioral Health Director Deidra Trout credits the housing-first model with closing the mortality gap, citing improvements in physical health and mental well-being among participants. The program has provided case management to 26 residents, connected 13 others with basic needs, and facilitated permanent supportive housing referrals for four clients through the state. Notable success stories include a woman who overcame drug addiction and was reunited with her children, and another who started therapy for the first time in their life.
