Investing in Stability

A Supportive Housing Overview

Supportive housing is an evidence-based, proven, and cost-effective solution that provides formerly homeless individuals an affordable place to live and the wraparound services, support, and safety they need to live with resilience and dignity.

It is accompanied by robust health, social, and stabilization services designed for people with disabilities -- including medical and behavioral health conditions.

Everyone wants to solve homelessness — but how we do it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our communities help adults 18 and over who are experiencing homelessness or have a disability, and who meet income guidelines for income-based housing. Some communities are specifically designed for homeless veterans.

All applicants must be referred through your local Coordinated Entry System. Contact the Toledo Lucas County Homelessness Board, Strategies to End Homelessness (Cincinnati), or Community Shelter Board (Columbus) to begin the process.

Many of our communities offer a full spectrum of care, allowing residents to transition to higher levels of care, such as memory care or skilled nursing, so you or your loved one can continue to receive familiar support without leaving the community.

Our communities offer 24-hour staffed entrances, security systems, fully furnished apartments, on-site laundry, computer centers, case management, life skills training, employment services, health education, and crisis intervention support.

Permanent supportive housing is not time-limited. Residents may remain as long as they continue to meet eligibility requirements and follow community guidelines, providing long-term stability and support.
