As a prime recipient, Liberty Community Services will provide direct housing assistance and case management services to homeless clients. The organization also partners with Yale University on the CHANGE program to deliver specialized case management, treatment compliance support, and connections to recovery services for individuals at high risk of or living with HIV/AIDS. Additionally, Liberty Community Services subcontracts with the City of New Haven to administer homelessness prevention funds, including rental assistance and security deposit/first month's rent aid for at-risk renters.
