Connecting adults to stable and affordable housing
When an individual doesn’t have a roof over their head, it is hard to focus on most other aspects of life. Reliance Health follows the Housing First model – helping first establish stable housing and then addressing additional needs through wraparound support services.
Network Housing
Reliance Health is a member of a regional housing network that pools resources to provide guidance on:
- Housing applications
- Security deposits (when available)
- Short-term rental assistance (1-3 months)
- Ongoing housing
- Mandated housing inspections and recertification
- Local, respectful landlords
- Tenant rights
- Tenant/landlord negotiations
- Additional housing questions
For more information please, contact our Network Housing Specialist at 860-859-4647
Supportive Housing
Our Supportive Housing Programs exist as part of the solution to end chronic homelessness by combining affordable housing with additional services to help people who face the most complex challenges. Individuals who are experiencing homelessness should call 211 and schedule a CAN (Coordinated Access Network) intake. To learn more about our Supportive Housing programs, and the proven effectiveness of these approaches, please contact 860-887-6536, or visit Partnership for Strong Communities and the Corporation for Supportive Housing.
Residential Programs
Reliance Health has voluntary, interim residences providing 24/7 care as well as co-ed and gender-specific settings. The main objectives of these programs are to:
- Help people safely transition out of inpatient settings
- Allow individuals to gain a sense of comfort in the community
- Positively build on daily living skills and long term goals
- Provide a high quality of living
Our residential programs partner with visiting nurse services and home health aides to ensure proper medication management and personal hygiene needs are met. We will also provide transportation to appointments and outings as well as host a variety of in-house activities to keep residents growing and engaged.
Two of our residences specialize in the Harm Reduction model – reducing harm to oneself or others through education, empowerment, and engagement.
