Our Programs
Permanent Supportive Housing and Mental Health Services
Permanent supportive housing (PSH), along with ongoing mental health services is a proven, effective formula for reducing the financial and social costs of homelessness, thus building healthier communities.
Working with partners at the local, state and federal levels, Dave’s House develops homes based upon best practice PSH models. These models combine a solid foundation of affordable and stable housing, accompanied by managed mental health care provided by our behavioral health service partners. We also coordinate with other well-being service providers to assist residents.
Our homes have a 90% retention rate for residents. All our residents participate daily in a productive activity including continuing education, volunteering and working. Through PSH, residents can more easily manage life obstacles, live in recovery and achieve their dreams. Our homes provide independence, a sense of security and a support network of acceptance and caring.
Housing Models
The Traditional Home Model, based on the scattered single family home concept, creates a residence where, typically, four individuals live together.
- Residents find solace in looking out for each other, sharing housekeeping, and socializing with each other. This home provides a sense of family, community, and stability.
- Individuals who have demonstrated stability and have the life skills to live independently have succeeded in this model.
- This model is designed to break even financially.
We are thrilled to share that we are, currently, in the process of establishing an entirely new Residential Community.
