Who our communities serve
All of our communities are open to those who are 18 and over who are homeless and disabled who also meet the income guidelines for income-based housing. Some of our communities are specifically for Homeless Veterans.
We Help People Get Their Lives Back on Track
Our Permanent Supportive Housing group and “Housing First” approach works by providing safe, affordable housing coupled with supportive services tailored to meet individual’s needs. We aim to promote and improve mental, emotional, physical and financial stability for our residents. Our approach also links residents to internal programs and external community resources that assist them in achieving their highest level of self-sufficiency.
Community Reengagement and Socialization
We offer social and recreational activities that help to engage and appeal to residents. They can also participate in workforce development programs that help them to finish their education, develop work skills and find a job or volunteer service.
Our Permanent Supportive Housing Communities
Permanent supportive housing communities are made possible through extensive collaborative partnerships with local and city government, area housing authorities, county commissioners, private foundations and corporate sponsors. We also partner with a variety of community organizations to ensure robust services, including computer and financial literacy programs.
The Permanent Supportive Housing buildings are designed with the special needs of our residents in mind.
