Who Uses Our Community Residences?
Our specialized community residences serve adults with severe and persistent mental illness who need comprehensive support to maintain stability. These five group homes are for individuals with a history of psychiatric hospitalizations, placing them at greater risk of homelessness or rehospitalization.
The homes support adults who need more than outpatient care but do not require inpatient treatment, providing both structure and independence that make successful community living possible. Each residence is designed to feel like a true home. Tenants benefit from stable routines, personalized care and community-based services that support recovery.
