Linwood Court Complex of two buildings is designed to expand housing opportunities and provide a continuum of supportive housing services to homeless persons on three different levels of housing. With three levels of housing, residents move from emergency, to transitional, to permanent housing in one supportive, structured environment. Since the program is designed to meet residents' individual needs, there may be a great deal of structure and interaction between them and staff members. However, as they grow in their ability to make appropriate decisions for themselves, direct supervision becomes less frequent. Additionally, the apartments provide transitional housing for women and men seeking to reunite with their families.
Residents develop an individual case management plan and participate in individual counseling.
This would be in addition to the counseling some receive for substance abuse and mental health issues. Forty percent of the residents are receiving Mental Health Services. Describe the financing of the project. Financing came largely through the Federal low income Housing Tax Credits syndicated by the Enterprise Social Investment Corporation in Maryland. Support services are funded through a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant, an emergency shelter grant and other fund raising efforts.
