The Supported Housing program provides supportive services which promote independence for an individual who resides in his or her own home and who is provided with an array of services to meet his or her needs. The individual actively participates in choosing an array of services and in choosing a home from among those living arrangements available to the general public and/or housing owned or leased by an agency. Once accepted for service by the agency, termination may only occur by voluntary withdrawal of the individual or based on the program’s discharge criteria.

The Supported Housing Program apartments are owned by Delta Residential, Inc. Delta Center staff are located in the building to provide different levels of support to clients as needed. The housing program consists of eight, one bedroom apartments and two-two bedroom apartments located in the same building as the staff office. The building is for clients needing the most support to maintain independent living.

The apartments are available to persons with serious mental illness who require the structure offered by residential support services, have insufficient community or peer support to maintain themselves, and are capable of self-medication. Priority for housing will be given to individuals who would otherwise have to reside in a more restrictive level of care than clinically necessary, who are at risk of being homeless, or individuals who have been residing in more restrictive care settings but could benefit from residential support to obtain independent living.

Services shall be oriented to individuals and shall be designed to meet the needs of the individual and his or her family. Individuals are recognized as persons with basic human needs, aspirations, desires, and feelings and are citizens of a community with all rights, privileges, opportunities and responsibilities accorded other citizens. All services are tailored to accommodate clients’ individual strengths, abilities, needs and preferences. Based on their needs, individuals shall receive supervision and supportive services which may range from continuous to intermittent. Services shall be designed to promote independence in daily living, economic self-sufficiency and integration into the community. Services may include but are not limited to case management, medication monitoring/training, skill building classes, behavior management, problem solving, facilitation of competencies (i.e. interpersonal communication, dating and sexual appropriateness, peer interactions, self-care and hygiene, use of public transportation, money management, cooking and home improvement), and facilitation of consumer run groups and activities.
