Clients have access to a comprehensive array of flexible services including housing stability support, income and benefits support, coordinated health and behavioral health services, twenty-four hour crisis intervention, employment services, diet/nutrition counselors, and recovery/wellness peer support specialists. Services are provided as needed to ensure successful residency and to support recovery and engagement in community life.
