Leeway’s Permanent Supportive Housing
At Leeway, we believe that having stable housing is the foundation for building a better life. That’s why our Permanent Supportive Housing program is designed to provide far more than just a roof over our tenants’ heads. We combine secure housing with robust, individualized support services to address the unique challenges faced by those experiencing housing insecurity, chronic homelessness, or living with HIV/AIDS.
Our program is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a chance to not just survive, but to thrive. Here's how we make that possible.
Why Choose Leeway’s Supportive Housing?
Leeway’s supportive housing program goes beyond temporary solutions by offering personalized care to help residents stabilize and succeed.
Tailored Case Management
Our dedicated case managers work closely with each tenant to provide extended support. From navigating landlord-tenant issues to connecting clients with social services like healthcare, counseling, or job training, we’re here every step of the way.
Inclusive Community Atmosphere
We foster a sense of belonging among our tenants by promoting social interactions through organized activities and events. These bonds motivate clients to take initiative, contribute, and support one another in their journeys.
Financial Guidance and Resources
We assist clients in accessing financial support, such as Social Security Disability benefits, empowering them to maintain long-term stability.
