Destination Home

Destination Home is a joint initiative of the Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition (KSHC) and the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS). The program marks a significant milestone for the agencies’ partnership and collaboration. By leveraging each organizations’ strengths and expertise, the partnership aims to improve the lives of those in need and provide better care and services to the community. Destination Home was designed to support the creation of permanent housing solutions and introduce a Housing First model across the state. Furthermore, it aims to provide a supportive transition process to help individuals move from state institutions into the community. The Director of Destination Home has contributed to the development of policies and procedures aimed at facilitating the transition of individuals from state institutions to community living. Destination Home has taken steps to enhance the delivery of health services to individuals in Kansas. The program has begun to send key stakeholders through Health and Wellness Life Coach training programs. This approach is intended to offer a more comprehensive and holistic method of providing health services to the community.
