Services are designed to overcome barriers such as geographic <br />isolation, lack of transportation, cultural/linguistic barriers, and institutional mistrust. <br />The program will focus on four outcomes over 12 months: <br />1. Housing Stability: Place 30 individuals into permanent housing, provide 125 housing <br />referrals, and 150 non -housing supports. <br />2. Healthcare Access: Deliver 200 street medicine encounters and connect 100 people <br />to essential health services. <br />3. Long -Term Support: Maintain ongoing contact with newly housed individuals for an <br />average of six months, and connect 100 to employment supports. <br />4. Mobile Hygiene Access: Provide 1,500 hot showers and consistent hygiene events <br />island -wide as a key entry point for engagement. <br />PVH will leverage collaborations with partner organizations and outreach event host sites <br />such as HIHR, HOPE Services, Hawai'i County, NPP, and many others to deliver services. <br />
