HASA provides intensive case management, rental assistance, emergency and permanent supportive housing, and assistance with applying for public benefits and services including Medicaid, food stamps, and cash assistance. HASA also provides vocational services that prepare clients for employment. With counselors to help identify barriers to employment, clients can select vocational goals and receive support.
