Supportive Housing

Supportive Housing is when people are living in individual apartments located throughout an apartment complex or a close geographic area. The Supportive Housing Service provides each person with the right amount of supports based on their level of need. This includes an overnight staff located within the complex/area to monitor all the apartments through the use of assistive technology and respond to their needs either in person or through virtual supports (audio and/or video).   

As is done for In-Home Support, a series of assessments will be conducted including, but not limited to: an Independent Living Assessment, a Safety Assessment, and an Assistive Technology Assessment. Additional assessments may be done if needed including a Medical Assessment by a Healthcare Coordinator, a Transportation Assessment, and Behavioral/Clinical Assessments.  As with any independent living program at MidState Arc the intent of the program is not to do things for the person, but to encourage them to be as independent as possible and to connect them to the resources needed to enable and encourage them to be as independent as possible.
