TO QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM, FAMILIES MUST MEET THE DEFINITION OF HUD HOMELESS, HAVE THREE OR MORE CHILDREN AND AT LEAST ONE MEMBER OF THE FAMILY MUST HAVE A DISABLING CONDITION. DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF CHILDREN, THE PROGRAM NOT ONLY HAS CASE MANAGEMENT AND PROGRAMMING FOR ADULTS, BUT IT ALSO HAS TARGETED PROGRAMMING FOR THE YOUTH THAT FOCUSES ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL SKILL BUILDING. WHEN A FAMILY HAS LIVED AT EMMA'S PLACE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR, THEY RECEIVE A SECTION 8 CERTIFICATE THAT CAN BE PORTED INTO ANOTHER RENTAL OPPORTUNITY ANYWHERE IN THE COMMUNITY.

THE SCATTERED SITE PROGRAM MAINLY SERVES INDIVIDUAL HEADED HOUSEHOLDS BUT DOES HAVE SOME SMALL FAMILIES AS WELL. THESE PARTICIPANTS QUALIFY FOR THE PROGRAM DUE TO HAVING A LONG-TERM HOMELESS STATUS AND A LONG-TERM DISABLING CONDITION. ALL REFERRALS ARE RECEIVED THROUGH THE LOCAL COORDINATED ENTRY SYSTEM, AND PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN ONE OF THE SITE-BASED PROGRAMS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY.
