The Foundation Of Project HOME’s Model And Impact

The most critical step in an individual’s journey to break the cycle of homelessness is to have a place to call home. Project HOME’s supportive, affordable residences offer permanent housing for individuals and families who had been homeless. Most residents come to Project HOME from a safe haven, a shelter, or from the streets.

Today, Project HOME has over 1,000 units of affordable housing and support services. But housing is just the first step. Person-centered case management is the bedrock of Project HOME’s residential programs. Skilled program staff collaborate with residents to create goals toward self-sufficiency while providing a recovery community. Staff are trained to provide high-quality, attentive support to two primary vulnerable populations:

  • Adults, young-adults, and families who have experienced homelessness, with an emphasis on persons who have histories of mental illness and substance use disorder 
  • Low-income adults and young adults at risk of homelessness 

We offer supportive housing in three types of facilities: Safe havens and emergency respites, recovery housing, and permanent supportive housing. 

All residents have access to a wide-ranging array of services, including:

  • Service coordination 
  • Personal recovery services 
  • Health care
  • Education 
  • Social enterprise and employment opportunities
