The San Francisco Examiner recently featured San Francisco Homeless Outreach Team (SFHOT) Case Manager Cindy Chan in a story about SFHOT client Brian Wheelihan. Wheelihan, long unhoused, moved into permanent supportive housing just in time for the Christmas holiday.
The story highlights how SFHOT, a partner of Heluna Health, helps those experiencing homelessness navigate the housing process and works alongside partners like the Post Overdose Engagement Team (POET) and the Maria X Martinez Resource Center, ensuring that people like Wheelihan receive the support they need.
In the article, Chan highlights the importance of understanding an individual’s situation and creating manageable goals. “I like meeting clients where they’re at,” she said. “I felt like [Wheelihan] was ready for a lot of the things we did together, like getting his ID and stuff, that was very much in his capacity.”
