SHINE A LIGHT OFFERS INSTANT PLACEMENT WITH ACCESS TO TREATMENT AND HOUSING (IPATH) TO ALL CLIENTS THAT WE COME INTO CONTACT WITH OR THAT REACH OUT FOR HELP. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH OUR LOCAL SAFETY NET PROVIDERS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE HELP THE MOMENT THEY ASK FOR IT. TRUE TO OUR ROOTS, WE ALSO DOLE OUT MUCH-NEEDED SUPPLIES, INCLUDING BOTTLED WATER, FOOD, SOCKS, FLASHLIGHTS, HEADLAMPS AND AA AND AAA BATTERIES. WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENSURING THAT THE CONTINUITY OF SUPPORT DOESN'T STOP ONCE PLACEMENT IS OBTAINED. OUR COMPREHENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO WALK EACH CLIENT WHO CHOOSES TO PARTICIPATE THROUGH TWO YEARS OF SERVICES, FROM THE POINT OF CONTACT THROUGH ALL INDIVIDUAL STAGES OF THE RE-ENTRY PROCESS. THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO REASON TO EVER FEEL LIKE ANYONE HAS TO RECIDIVATE BACK TO THEIR PREVIOUS SITUATION.
