Does your agency assessment ask, "Where did you sleep last night?"


Clients facing insecure housing and homelessness are found in rural and urban communities. Social workers can help identify whether insecure housing is a barrier to providing services or treatment by advocating to add questions about housing to their agency or practice assessments. Identifying housing insecurity provides a social worker with an opportunity to intervene and connect a client to statewide resources.
Social workers can:
1. Ask, "Where did you sleep last night?
2 - Contact the Homeless Continuum of Care in your region
Alabama has eight (8) Homeless Continuum of Care Coalitions that regionally coordinate services for homelessness, and each continuum maintains a network of organizations that provide direct services in your community.
