Ivan Shapiro House
|
Ivan Shapiro House (ISH) is one of the first CR/SRO residences in NYC created specifically for the formerly
homeless, mentally ill population. Opened in 1997 and home to 55 women and men, ISH is funded by
the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH ) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD), and offers a full array of rehabilitative, treatment, vocational, support, and self-help services to
its residents. In 2006, the residence began explicitly tailoring its service menu to emphasize
prinicples of Wellness Self Management (WSM). In this model, psychiatric and physical wellness
and recovery are paramount; and residents develop individualized service goals geared toward maximizing
individual needs and lifestyle choices, as well as developing skill sets that will enable them to live in
the least restrictive possible residential setting. Although each resident charts a different course, in many
cases, residents are able to enter part- or full-time employment and/or to successfully locate and establish
homes in independent, community-based housing.
