  I provide direct care and case management services to residents of the Wood Street Commons homeless shelter. Services include housing and benefits assistance, crisis management, guidance with life issues, and encouragement with goal attainment. I practice Housing First and Harm Reduction service delivery models, treating housing as the primary goal without requiring residents to abstain from harmful behavior.
