Home > Adult Supportive Housing with Services We recognize that mental health affects or is affected by many other aspects of life, from housing to physical health to financial well-being, and we’ve designed our programs as a system of care rather than isolated services. Our Adult Supportive Housing with Services provide a more intensive level of mental health and independent living support in a residential or apartment setting. Our goal is to provide holistic care to help our clients live independently in the community
while managing their mental illness. Some of these programs also provide support to underserved groups – such as the deaf, hard of hearing, and deaf-blind communities and individuals living with a developmental disability. Below are all of our residential and apartment supportive programs, along with a brief list of eligibility criteria. Select “Learn More” to discover more details about each program.

How Do I Get Help Finding Housing?
Where can adults with schizophrenia live?It is estimated that approximately 28% of schizophrenics live independently, 20% live in group homes, and about 25% live with family members. Sadly, the remaining 27% percent are either homeless, living in jails or prisons, or living in hospitals or nursing homes.
Can a mentally ill person live alone?Absolutely. Of course a person, even with a serious mental illness, can live alone.
What is supported living for mental health?Supported housing will usually mean that you live in a block or group of flats or houses with other people who need some support. They may have similar support needs to you. You may offer each other support. Often accommodation is self-contained, but you may share communal areas such the lounge, utilities and garden.
How do mentally ill people live?Licensed care homes, assisted living facilities and nursing homes provide highly structured living for people with severe mental illness, disability or medical complications. With access to staff 24-hours a day and meals provided, residents usually pay most of their income except for a small allowance.
