One idea I've seen is the "virtual village", constructing local community to support people staying in their homes while getting some connection and help from volunteers in the neighborhood. The one where we are is http://nestseattle.org/about-us/ , and I ought to do something with them...
I don't have experience to know what this does for the problems people have. I am a bit worried it would help the people with small problems and not be equipped to deal with the big problems -- but small is a start, at least. Maybe it could help some people from spiraling downwards.
