Over the last 25 years, City Care has built 115 units of permanent supportive housing for our neighbors transitioning out of homelessness. The large majority of residents in City Care’s supportive housing community make 50% or less AMI and have co-occurring disorders.
Our residents live in peer-supported communities and are empowered to use their lived experiences to support and encourage others. Once a resident moves in, they have access to case support advocates who help them remain stably housed by focusing on increasing the resident’s life skills, income, managing health needs and rebuilding healthy support systems.
Residents are offered furnished homes that include utilities and additional services like case management, referrals, peer mentoring, support groups, crisis intervention, legal assistance, transportation, employment support, nutrition, fitness, financial planning, recovery support, recreation, and independent living skills.
Affordable and supportive housing is an excellent intervention for the individual or family; resolving homelessness, improving health outcomes, and reconnecting residents to their communities.
