Connection Readiness

This section is designed to help us understand if the young person is ready for the responsibility and opportunity of a lifelong, stable connection in their life. Connections Homes is not a shelter, temporary housing program or traditional transitional living program. We focus on creating lifelong, stable connections between a young adult and an individual/family who will walk alongside them as they transition into Connected Independent Adulthood—living a fully-functional adult life while maintaining a healthy and accountable connection to someone else. As such, a key foundation of our program is the "connection readiness" of the young adult.

Has the young adult expressed an interest in being a part of a stable, lifelong family?*

Is the young adult self-motivated with a desire to do their part inside of a committed, stable relationship? (i.e. communication, truthfulness, and healthy accountability)*

In your own words, describe the young adult's connection readiness and any hurdles that you feel might need to be overcome...*

Does the young adult know that this referral is being made on their behalf?*

Do we have permission to contact the young adult directly to move forward in the process?*
