COMPASS

COMPASS formally merged with The Beacon in April 2019 and its services are now a program of the organization. 

 

These services include: 

  • Mailbox privileges

  • Transportation services (METRO bus fare)

  • ID assistance

  • Access to comprehensive healthcare through a partnership with Harris Health System

  • Walk up case management/information and referral

  • Housing Navigation through Coordinated Access referral

 

The Process

COMPASS is open Mondays through Fridays from 9 AM to 2 PM.  Walk up case management is only available Mondays through Thursdays and services are available on a first come, first served basis.

 

Clients should arrive as early as 8 AM to get in line for services. At 8:45 AM, a staff member will come outside and hand out 10 numbers for the Harris Health System application.  Staff will also make the list for the case management services.  

More Info

  • Most of the services such as a referral to Operation ID, bus fare, haircut vouchers, permission to receive mail, etc. require a visit with a case manager. 

  • In order to apply for eligibility for the Harris Health System, a client must be homeless and have acceptable ID.
