Families & Support Networks
Support the person, not just the process.
Families, friends, and trusted supporters can help someone consider housing while respecting that person's voice, choices, and privacy.
How to help
Prepare for a useful conversation.
- Ask the person what kind of support they want from you.
- Focus on the immediate housing need and the program that may be relevant.
- Write down practical questions about the residence, room arrangements, expectations, transportation, and next steps.
- Let the team know about accessibility or coordination needs relevant to housing.
Privacy & agency
Keep the person at the center.
A New Path welcomes general questions from families and trusted supporters. Personal details are handled with respect for the participant's role in decisions and for appropriate privacy boundaries.
Begin by calling or emailing general information. Do not email health records, court files, identification documents, or other sensitive records.
