Safe, affordable, and stable housing is a cornerstone of promoting positive health and wellness for all individuals.  

For some individuals, it can be difficult to secure or maintain consistent housing as a result of a mental health condition or addiction. Other individuals need housing that provides custom supports because of an intellectual or developmental disability. 

Supports we offer can include, but are not limited to:

  • Around-the-clock care
  • Weekly check-ins
  • Community outings
  • Socializing and skill building
  • Transportation to and from employment
  • Assistance with medical appointments

The Citizen Advocates community housing & living team works directly with our clinical services to ensure individuals receive the residential supports necessary to live a full and meaningful life with dignity and respect.
