Supportive Transitional Housing

The main CP transitional housing program occupies a 12-unit apartment building composed of one-bedroom apartments. This program is funded by HUD through the Mayor's Homeless Task Force on Homelessness.

Participants in this program reside in a 12-unit, one bedroom apartment building, and may remain up to two years. There are two participants per unit. Participants share the apartment with a roommate to increase accountability and to avoid isolating behavior and loneliness. The number of participants at any point in time will be between 11 and 22.

This project is located in a healthy community neighborhood, on the bus route, close to shopping, hospital, addiction and mental health services, educational, employment, spiritual, and recreational opportunities.

A full time, on-site House Manager is responsible for the well-being and continued progress of current participants as well as for participants transitioning into or out of the program. The project's House Manager assumes the primary role of relationship building and case management, including periodic assessment, monitoring, and advocacy for participants. The House Manager meets weekly with all participants one-on-one, and holds group meetings for all program participants a minimum of once per week. Individual inspections of all rooms is performed weekly.

Each participant is initially assessed and referred to the program by the staff of Carpenter's Place and local in-patient addiction programs. Supportive services include 14 areas of life as identified in Carpenter's Place Assessment and Life Recovery Plan. This holistic approach is critical toward effectively addressing the problems of the homeless, especially those who also suffer from addictions and/or mental illness, and transitions them to long-term stability for the participant as well as for the entire community.
