Supportive Housing
The Scattered Site Housing Program addresses the needs of a special population of individuals with identified disabilities and who without subsidies for affordable housing, would likely remain homeless. This further serves to strengthen the family unit and makes it possible for families to remain intact.
Critical case management and Counseling is provided to the identified individual household members, which links residents to services such as, mental health treatment, financial entitlements, assistance in locating housing, training in Successful Tenancy, Home Fire & Evacuation Safety, Employment re-entry education, family Nutritional needs, and that support the health and well-being of those in our Scattered Site Housing Program. Residents maintain an on-going relationship with their referring case manager, who acts in a supportive role to the program's case manager.
The objective is to stabilize the family unit by offering them decent housing in familiar neighborhoods, that will offer a sense of permanency. As a result, formerly homeless children are able to remain in their schools, develop long-term friendships, and teacher student relationships that empowering and provides continuity in their educational pursuits. Residents live in the greater Bridgeport area and enjoy the independence afforded them by living in Scattered Site apartments through the area. They must be both mentally and physically stable to live independently.
