Supportive Apartment Model
Supportive housing offers accommodations as well as wrap-around services for those struggling with mental health and/or substance abuse issues. These services might include case management, therapy, nursing, and other supportive services. The objective of this model is to reduce the utilization of emergency services, and offer residents a stable, safe, and cost-effective place to live.
Housing First Model
Housing First model is based on a harm-reduction principle, and addresses the primary needs of homeless individuals and/or families, before addressing other issues. Once residents obtain stable accommodations, wrap-around services are provided, allowing the individual to begin the process of rebuilding their lives.
