Supportive independent housing for low-income adults recovering from mental illness. Offers two kinds of housing: 6 houses in which each resident gets a private bedroom and shares the common living areas, and 3 apartment buildings available via referral by County or County-contracted behavioral health care coordinators for homeless individuals with mental illness. Residents in houses are expected to be engaged in structured activities outside the house 20 hours or more each week; these activities could include any combination of paid or volunteer work, school or vocational training, participation in day programs, 12-step meetings, religious services, etc. All residents should be ready and able to self-administer prescribed medication, do their own shopping and cooking, and perform housekeeping tasks. Supportive services include regularly scheduled house or community meetings, coordination of free or low-cost recreational and social activities, and individual appointments as needed. Apartments have onsite case managers 7 days a week; staff are not onsite at the houses day to day, but are available by telephone message or email daily. All housing is affordable for people on SSI. Transitional and permanent housing available, but not emergency shelter; there is generally a waiting list for both types of housing.
