Our Housing Supportive Services program is dedicated to helping individuals facing chronic homelessness, homelessness, or those at risk of experiencing long-term homelessness. We provide tailored, client-centered support for individuals dealing with complex social and mental health challenges. The program is designed to foster housing stability through a strengths-based, person-centered model, respecting each individual’s lived experience, especially their history of homelessness. Service plans are collaboratively developed with tenants, focusing on their strengths, needs, and goals. By embracing a collaborative and empowering approach, we aim to promote independence, stability, and well-being for each individual.
