Ozanam Place is a community-based organization that offers three coordinated programs to find permanent solutions to the homelessness of single parents and children living in Belknap County, New Hampshire: Transitional Supportive Services Program, Peer Support Program and After-Care Program. Our primary program, the Transitional Supportive Services Program, offers an array of services including rental subsidies and access to Section 8 vouchers – when available -- that permit the families we serve to integrate into permanent housing as soon as possible. We combine this housing assistance with intensive and comprehensive case management services based on low case manager/client ratios and a total family needs assessment. Our program methodology is integrative by emphasizing networking and collaborative efforts with other service providers. A critical component of these services is intensive case management that provides for a more effective utilization and integration of existing private and government resources. We only provide services to those living in Belknap County, NH.
