Leeway’s Permanent Supportive Housing
Permanent Supportive Housing is offered to individuals experiencing housing insecurity or suffering from chronic homelessness.
Leeway’s supportive housing program is tailored to address the needs of people who need more than temporary shelter by providing extended case management to all our tenants. Leeway case managers partner with community resources, help clients access applicable financial supports like Social Security Disability, and coordinate services like healthcare, counseling, or job training.
Leeway’s housing serves to create its own community, case managers are available just to chat, or to talk a client through a life situation, for example, working out a landlord-tenant issue. In addition, social activities stimulate social bonds. In this supportive environment, clients take more initiative, contribute, and help others.
