Housing

Everyone requires a decent, secure place to live. A home enables some of the most vulnerable people in America—those with mental illnesses, long-term health issues, trauma histories, and other struggles—to receive sufficient care and go on the road to recovery.

However, some illnesses make it challenging for people to keep a stable home without additional support. That help is available through supportive housing, a highly efficient solution that combines inexpensive housing with extensive coordinated services.

Living in unstable homes can seriously harm one's health. Homelessness can make it more difficult to stop using drugs and alcohol, treat mental illness, and manage long-term physical health issues. People living on the streets with these and other health problems frequently find themselves in dire situations and may only have access to emergency rooms for medical care. Even while affordable housing is a part of the answer, some people might also require supportive services to keep their housing.

For instance, service providers at Amazing Care Services can ensure that people with chronic illnesses manage their diet and medications properly, which can keep them out of hospitals or nursing homes, or they can ensure that people with mental illnesses pay their rent on time and understand the rights and obligations outlined in a lease.
