Housing With Services
What is Supportive Housing?
Supportive housing is a successful, cost-effective combination of affordable housing with services that helps people
live more stable, productive lives. Supportive housing works well for people who face the most complex
challenges-individuals and families who are not only homeless, but who also have very low incomes and serious,
persistent issues that may include substance use, mental illness, and HIV/AIDS.

Our Supportive Housing Programs
UP's supportive housing residences serve seriously and persistently mentally ill single adults, all with histories of
homelessness and some with histories of substance abuse or addiction.
Our programs promote self-sufficiency and independence, enhance residents' ability to function in their communities and
encourage participation in wellness and recovery-oriented activities. In support, we offer a full array of
rehabilitative, treatment, vocational, and self-help services, focusing on four core objectives:
- Successful management of psychiatric symptoms
- Acquisition of skills needed to maximize functional levels
- Development of a network of formal and informal supports
- Participation in a range of rehabilitiative services to maximize residents' ability to live as independently as
possible and in the lest restrictive environment
