What We Do
Unique Integrated Approach
• Residents can stay as long as they wish, provided they meet commitments to pay rent and live within the guidelines of the property.
• We provide on-site case management; counseling and coordination of services to help individuals resolve life issues, promote recovery, and manage mental health symptoms; skills training to promote life skills; and we promote community building within our housing developments.
• We offer linkage to community vocational resources programs that empower residents to maintain jobs and move on to market rate housing.
