Housing Mediation
Our Housing Mediation program helps residents living in Mental Health Housing to resolve conflicts with either roommates and/or their housing agency. We guide the involved parties toward a mutually accepted agreement. Our goal is to assist people to preserve their housing. Towards this end we offer workshops on communications skills, support towards resolution and information concerning individual rights.
Eligibility:
Individuals who live in licensed and / or OMH sponsored mental health housing through the Single Point of Access including Community Residences and Supporting Housing.

Supported Housing
Our Supportive Housing program provides dignified homes for 20 people who are in recovery from mental illness. Our houses and apartments are located in Brookhaven, Islip and Riverhead Townships. Participation in our program includes assistance to work with each person to achieve the highest level of independence possible. Our hope is that this level of assistance can help our participants gain skills and supports that will allow them to consider opportunities for higher levels of financial independence and asset development. Funds are provided by the New York State Office of Mental Health (NYSOMH).
