KSHC: Destination Home
Destination Home supports the creation of permanent housing solutions and introduces a housing-first model across the state.
At its core, Destination Home aims to provide a supportive transition process to help individuals move from state institutions into the community.
KSHC & KDADS
Destination Home is a joint initiative of the Kansas Statewide Homeless Coalition (KSHC) and the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS). The program marks a significant milestone for the agencies’ partnership and collaboration. By leveraging each organizations’ strengths and expertise, the partnership aims to improve the lives of those in need and provide better care and services to the community.
Destination Home has taken steps to enhance the delivery of health services to individuals in Kansas. The program has begun to send key stakeholders through Health and Wellness Life Coach training programs. This approach is intended to offer a more comprehensive and holistic method of providing health services to the community.

Boundary Spanners
Connecting people, services and housing
Finding stable housing can involve navigating multiple systems, especially for people with behavioral health needs or those transitioning from institutional care into the community.
Through its partnership with the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), KSHC supports Boundary Spanners who help connect these systems. Working across agencies and service providers, Boundary Spanners help eligible Kansans access Coordinated Entry, housing resources and supportive services.
This coordination is an important part of Destination Home's work to improve pathways to stable housing across Kansas.
