Supportive Housing
Helping You Find a Place to Call Home
If you've been experiencing chronic homelessness and have a mental health diagnosis, we can help you find housing with a fair lease and good landlords—a place where you can live the life you want.
Our housing specialists will guide you through the process, teach you helpful life skills, and work with you to plan for your future living situation.
What Does "Chronic Homelessness" Mean?
We follow HUD's definition, which may include:
-
Sleeping in places not meant for people to live (like cars, parks, or abandoned buildings)
-
Living in shelters, transitional housing, or hotels/motels paid for by charitable organizations or government programs
-
Leaving an institution where you've lived for 90 days or more
How Supportive Housing Works
With the right support, people with mental health challenges can live in housing they choose, just like everyone else in the community. We take different approaches depending on what works best for you, but we're always here to help you find and keep your housing.
You'll Have Access To:
-
Case management
-
Help finding daily activities
-
Support resolving conflicts
-
Assistance in becoming part of your community
-
Connection to social opportunities
-
Access to employment support if you're interested
How Much Does It Cost?
If you qualify for supportive housing, your insurance covers our services—usually 100% through ProviderOne, Washington State Medicaid, and sometimes Medicare.
Peer Counseling
Support from Someone Who Understands
Peer counseling comes in many forms, but it's all built on a simple truth: sometimes the best help comes from people who've been through similar experiences. Our peer counselors share their own stories to help you develop hope and improve your life.
