Houston Compass Inc

Houston COMPASS is a nonprofit social services organization. It serves unemployed and disabled people and those experiencing poverty through one-on-one visits with case managers. Initial meetings assess immediate needs and set short-term goals, with support that may address food, housing, transportation, identification, clothing, and communication access. Follow-up case management helps clients pursue longer-term goals related to life skills, employment, treatment, health care, benefits, and housing. Employment support includes job readiness guidance, job leads, and individualized coaching for job searches. The organization also connects clients with relevant community resources and offers direct assistance, including referrals for identification, clothing, or haircuts, as well as toiletries, reading glasses, snacks, and bottled water. It has served Houston clients since 1981.
