Project90 is an evidence-based, accelerated case management model that provides a community of care for customers so that they are able to reach self-sufficiency in 90 days and have the life long skills to be able to remain self-sufficient and eventually thrive.
Project90 provides a people first framework, based on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, that enables service staff and customers to co-develop and work in unison to meet personalized, adaptive action plans, based on customer voice & choice and their current situation. It breaks down what can be overwhelming root causes of crisis, and provides focus for solving self-sufficiency barriers in a customer’s life through tangible next steps.
Progress for customers is measured collaboratively through a self-sufficiency scale that defines six key domains of basic needs, which begins with housing and includes income, transportation, health, safety, and support.
