The provider will understand and clinically deliver a service that addresses the core issues that drive homelessness including trauma (whether in childhood or adulthood), personality disorder and chronic mental health disorder experience (such as chronic PTSD or serious mental illness).

The Housing First staff will need to respond to the often unmet need for psychologically informed emotional support and build up consistent and trusting relationships.
