SHELTER PLUS CARE HOUSING

Shelter Plus Care Housing is the least restrictive and most independent level of Residential Services. In this program, a client lives alone, but participates in the appropriate level of counseling provided by the Council. Our Shelter Plus Care program is designed to provide HUD subsidized housing and supportive services for homeless persons in recovery from alcohol and/or substance abuse. They may have been living in places not intended for human habitation (e.g., the streets), in emergency shelters, or they may have given up their permanent housing in order to seek treatment for their addiction and are thus homeless.

Clients must demonstrate a stable recovery and the ability to manage their recovery before becoming eligible for this program.
