Abstract

Community agencies serving individuals experiencing homelessness do not have an objective tool to assess job readiness. The creation of a screening tool and application of a resource guide based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTM) is a novel approach in moving toward a more client-centered, occupation-based method of service delivery. By incorporating TTM into the intake phase, service providers are better equipped to assist their participants by ‘meeting them where they are at’.
