Supportive Housing & eligibility

Supportive Housing Coordinators:

• Help residents access community resources
• Work with the local housing
• Oversee a 24/7 emergency response system

• Plan social activities

Supportive Housing Coordinators also manage issues that arise in housing to foster stability and a sense of community

The private apartments include a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/dining area. Residents have a lease with the local Housing Authority that runs the building. There are 51 Supportive Housing sites around the state with 7,500 units available.
