The Navigator Model offers a story of hope

Connecting resources to remove barriers

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”25″ animation=”left-to-right”]The Navigator Model helps people find a job, keep a job and secure stable housing. It brings together regional workforce councils, local housing providers, the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) and other services that serve homeless families.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1498231571064{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_accordions container_bg_color=”#fcf3e8″][vc_accordion_tab icon=”mk-moon-checkmark-3″ title=”Building Self-Sufficiency”][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]Workforce Innovation Grants encourage service delivery changes that result in better outcomes and lower costs. The model’s intervention relies on the role of the navigator – in this case a local workforce staff member. The navigator provides direct support to help families get training, find and keep jobs, move into permanent housing and make progress toward self-sufficiency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab icon=”mk-moon-checkmark-3″ title=”Cross-System Partnership”][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]

Navigator intervention creates a single point of contact for clients who are often addressing formidable issues. The navigator connects the client to other service providers and helps develop a coordinated response to client needs. This team approach includes regular meetings between service providers, especially housing case managers and DSHS contacts.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab icon=”mk-moon-checkmark-3″ title=”Short-Term Flex Fund Assistance”][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]

Navigators also can draw on a financial attainment fund that provided quick access to flexible dollars to address client emergencies where other funds weren’t available.

A Navigator works one-on-one with families to assess their individual circumstances and address specific barriers to employment within the household.

Findings At-a-Glance

[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”Employment Rates” tab_id=”1498077766142-a9e15933-f8cd”][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]Employment rates for navigator clients jumped between the 18- and 24-month follow-up periods. At 24 months, the study found navigator clients had a 10 percent higher employment rate than people in the control group. Client and stakeholder interviews, as well as activity data, showed that navigators worked with 93 percent of their clients on employment services; 80 percent of clients participated in education or job training.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Employment Retention” tab_id=”1498077766276-4f37859f-e7f0″][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]The study found that, at 24 months, navigator clients showed an 11 percent higher employment retention rate over control group participants. Employment retention was measured as having retained employment for at least 6 months.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Housing Permanency” tab_id=”1498077808431-8d1b8925-4348″][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]At the 24-month follow-up period, the housing permanency rate for navigator clients was 5 percent higher than that of the control group. This data point suggests the possibility of long-term benefits to the navigator model.

Clients who worked more closely with their navigator on housing showed substantially higher long-term housing rates that those who had less interaction with navigators, suggesting navigators experienced an increased willingness to use attainment funds to support housing needs the more they interacted with their client.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Public Assistance” tab_id=”1498078495864-95e62d84-85c4″][vc_column_text animation=”fade-in”]The study looked at the utilization of public assistance through TANF, food stamps and DSHS medical insurance.

TANF utilization initially went up within the navigator group as clients were helped to access needed resources. By 18 and 24 months, however, TANF utilization was decreasing. This was the same period in which employment rates for the navigator group increased significantly.

Food stamp and medical insurance assistance showed little variation between groups at 18 and 24 months. This aligns with the study’s finding of insignificant variation in hourly wages. Because employment and retention rates started to show significant differentiation at 24 months, it is possible that a longer study would show more distinction between the groups.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tour][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_image=”http://workforcenavigator.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/goldcollageoffset_optimized.jpg” bg_color=”#fdeacf” bg_position=”center top” min_height=”0″ full_width=”true” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ has_top_shape_divider=”true” top_shape_style=”jagged-rounded-top” top_shape_color=”#ffffff” has_bottom_shape_divider=”true” bottom_shape_style=”jagged-rounded-bottom” bottom_shape_color=”#f5dcb7″ section_id=”key-findings-process-section” el_class=”wif-page-sections no-padding” sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_steps step=”3″ icon_1=”mk-li-loupe” title_1=”
