A relationship-first outreach and navigation model.
P.A.V.E uses a model designed to reach individuals who are often disconnected from traditional systems of care. Our work focuses on trust, consistency, navigation, warm handoffs, and follow-through.
We meet individuals where they are — on the street, in encampment areas, in shelters, in high-need communities, and through partner referrals.
We build trust through consistency, lived experience, compassion, and trauma-informed communication. We remain patient, respectful, and persistent.
We identify immediate needs and barriers related to substance use, housing, mental health, medical care, re-entry, safety, identification documents, transportation, and family or community support.
We help individuals understand their options and connect to services that fit their needs — treatment referrals, MAT, housing, behavioral health, community clinics, and social service partners.
We do more than provide phone numbers. Whenever possible, P.A.V.E coordinates directly with partner providers to help ensure individuals are supported through the next step.
Follow-up is a key part of our work. We support individuals after the first referral by checking in, helping remove barriers, and encouraging continued engagement.
The long-term goal is to help individuals move toward recovery, housing stability, improved health, and stronger community connection.
A model built for partnership.
Our outreach and navigation model works best when paired with strong partner providers. Connect with us to coordinate referrals, service agreements, or program collaboration.
