Supportive housing helps individuals and families who face the most complex challenges such as chronic homelessness, substance use, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, and chronic unemployment--to live more stable, productive and substantive lives.
Without a stable place to live and a support system to help address underlying problems, most homeless people bounce from one emergency system to the next--from the streets to shelters to public hospitals to psychiatric institutions and detox centers and back to the streets--endlessly. The Doe Fund is committed to addressing the extremely high cost of this cycle of homelessness, in human and economic terms through their Supportive Housing Programs.
In addition to stable and quality housing, these programs also provide
- Intensive case management
- Life skills training
- Mental health assessments and referrals
- Drug relapse prevention and substance abuse services
- Family and social reunification
- Permanency planning and quality of life improvement
