Susan’s Legacy Supportive Housing

Creates Stability And Prevents Homelessness.
Supportive housing gives clients the foundation and resources on which to stabilize and rebuild their lives.

Promotes Self-Sufficiency.
Support services – including connections to mental health care, job training, addiction counseling, education, and training in basic life skills – are designed to help the individual eliminate substance use and properly treat mental health issues.

Assists In The Process Of Securing And Retaining Employment.       Support staff help clients make connections to training, job placement, education, and the development of necessary skills required to secure employment.

Promotes Early Intervention Care.
Through daily contact with clients, service staff can see and respond to signs of deteriorating mental health, depression, relapse into addiction, and other problematic conditions. This early intervention can help a client secure appropriate treatment before a problem becomes a crisis.

Promotes Socialization And Reintegration.
Many clients who have been homeless do not have a social network on which to rely for support. Supportive housing helps clients establish peer support groups and a sense of belonging to a community.

Promotes Sobriety.
The combination of stable housing with substance abuse monitoring makes supportive housing the most effective environment for helping clients in recovery maintain their sobriety and mental health.

            "The program of Susan’s Legacy has taught me a lot, and it has definitely played a big role in my life.  I am going to continue to be in the program as long as I am allowed to be.  I know that the people will continue to help me accomplish my goals in life.  My goals are to be clean and sober, have my own family, get my GED, and go to college to become a dental assistant or a counselor for juveniles like I once was.  Know that if I can change, anyone can change….I owe a lot to the program of Susan’s Legacy for helping me to become a better person."
