Housing

Whatever the level of need, we assist our clients in creating and sustaining a home they can count on.

We all know how important it is to have a home - somewhere to feel safe and secure and develop roots to grow. It's no surprise that stable housing and recovery go hand-in-hand. At TMHA, we not only provide a safe place, we match housing with varying levels of care, based on each individual's needs.

Young people (ages 11-17) receive treatment and practice social, educational and independent living skills in a home with 24-hour supervision and therapeutic care.

We also offer transitional housing for adults learning to stabilize symptoms and develop independent living skills. To those with a history of homelessness, we provide housing and support focused on reintegration into the community. Other participants live independently in affordable TMHA housing, sharing household responsibilities and interacting with the community at large.
