Orientation & Intake

The first step a woman interested in participating in THI is to attend an orientation. Orientation sessions are held the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. During orientation, Program Advisors briefly review THI programs and services, criteria for participation, expectations, and the process for proceeding. Potential participants tour the facility and then meet individually with a Program Advisor to complete the Intake process.

Assessment

If the woman is interested in proceeding, and meets the criteria for participation during Intake, an Assessment appointment is arranged with a Program Advisor. The Assessment is scheduled through the woman's worker or counselor. This Assessment may last up to 2 hours.

Case Review

After the Assessment is completed, all the information is reviewed by Program staff. This may take up to two weeks. The worker or counselor is contacted by letter or phone regarding the status of the woman's referral. If a woman is accepted, she is placed on the waiting list or is given a move-in date. If a woman is denied, the Program Advisor sends a denial letter explaining the reason for the denial. Women may reapply in six months.
