Housing

Significant numbers of people experiencing severe mental illness are living in inappropriate housing. Our housing services aim to provide the foundation of a decent home and the support for each individual to pave the way to greater independence and recovery at his or her own pace. Our support workers help those using these services with daily living and social skills as well as providing access to social activities, further education, and employment and training opportunities.
