Creating Stability, Support and Success through Secure Housing

Shared supportive housing is a living arrangement where individuals share a home or apartment while receiving supportive services to help them maintain housing stability and achieve their goals. It provides a supportive community environment for individuals facing homelessness, mental health challenges, or other barriers to stable housing.

Eligibility criteria for shared supportive housing may vary depending on the program and funding sources. Generally, individuals who are experiencing homelessness, have a history of mental illness, substance use disorder, or other challenges that impact their housing stability may qualify for shared supportive housing.

The goal is to help participants address their needs, build skills, and achieve greater independence.
