SHELTER PLUS CARE HOUSING

Shelter Plus Care Housing is the least restrictive and most independent level of Residential Services. In this program, clients live independently and participate in appropriate levels of counseling and support services needed to maintain their recovery. Individuals may have been living in places not intended for human habitation (e.g., the streets), in emergency shelters, or they may have given up their permanent housing in order to seek treatment for their addiction and are thus homeless.

This program is a HUD subsidized rental program for homeless individuals. All participants must meet HUD's definition of homelessness and income guidelines.

Clients must demonstrate a stable recovery and the ability to manage their recovery before becoming eligible for this program. All clients are assigned a case manager to assist them in the transition to permanent independent housing.
