Tenant Support Services
Empowering Independence for Adults with Disabilities and Mental Health Needs
The Tenant Support Services program is designed to support individuals with mental health needs and developmental disabilities to live independently. We provide the essential support and education needed to understand tenant responsibilities, access case management services, and utilize available resources for sustained independence.
Comprehensive Support for Independent Living
Our Tenant Support Services program encompasses a broad range of support tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Key features of our program include:
- Tenant Responsibilities Education: We educate individuals on the key aspects of being a responsible tenant, including understanding lease agreements, maintaining their living spaces, and fostering positive relationships with landlords and neighbors.
- Case Management Services: Our dedicated case managers work closely with each client to create personalized plans that address their specific needs and goals. This includes regular check-ins, goal setting, and ongoing support to navigate challenges.
- Resource Utilization: We connect individuals with a wide range of community resources, including financial assistance programs, healthcare services, employment opportunities, and social activities. Our goal is to ensure clients have access to everything they need to live independently and successfully.
- Skills Development: We provide training in essential daily living skills such as budgeting, cooking, cleaning, and personal care. This training is designed to enhance self-sufficiency and confidence in managing everyday tasks.
Tailored Support for Individual Needs
Every individual has unique needs and aspirations. Our team works collaboratively with clients to develop customized support plans that prioritize their goals and preferences. By focusing on individual strengths and capabilities, we empower our clients to make meaningful choices and take control of their lives.
