Description
This grant opportunity funds a cluster housing model providing 24/7 onsite resource support for individuals with complex mental health needs—specifically, Williams and Colbert Consent Decree class members and Front Door Diversion participants—who are transitioning from specialized mental health or nursing facilities to independent living in self-contained apartments. The program emphasizes non-clinical support, eviction prevention, employment assistance, and life skills development, aiming to foster recovery, empowerment, and self-sufficiency. Resource staff are available onsite to assist with daily living, medication management, and crisis prevention, ensuring tenants can maintain community housing with the support necessary for their needs.
