Activity 2

See schedule othe geel scatter-site supported housing program provided 93 adults and/or families with stable housing that allows them to reenter the community and maximize their participation in "normal" community activities by providing them with needed supportive structures. One of the many goals of this program is to increase both the independent and interdependent functioning of residents through training and learning. Another goal is to gradually decrease the residents reliance on the intensive mental health services to which they have been accustomed. Specifically, we attempt to decrease the incidence of re-hospitalization and regression, using residential stability as the basis for further growth.a significant accomplishment for this program is in the area of housing stability, where residents had previously struggled with maintaining housing and remaining out of shelters and other transitional living arrangements. Seventy-five percent of the residents of these programs have been housed at the project for more than 5 years.

Activity 3

See schedule ogeel east 162nd street hdfc - supported sro programthis program provided safe and stable housing and supportive case management services to 73 formerly homeless mentally ill individuals / low income community residents. Supportive case management services were provided to assist individuals to deal with daily living skill concerns and maintaining themselves and their apartments. The major goal areas are: rehabilitation, mental health, physical health and socialization and the objectives may include: budgeting, medication management, crisis intervention, prevocational training, entitlements, supportive counseling, group dynamics and referral to appropriate service providers. The most significant accomplishment for this project during the operating year was in the area of residential housing stability. The project maintained an average occupancy rate of 99.7%.this is a significant accomplishment given the fact the almost 60% of the residents of this program have been identified as chronically homeless. To achieve such a high rate of occupancy is a testament to the collaboration of staff and residents at this project. The project has emphasized a wellness self-management model that includes personalized recovery to the residents. Primarily, wellness self-management is encouraged through group and individual case management. The numerous groups and workshops that are offered in house to the residents of this project include; health and wellness, substance abuse, activities of daily living (adl), career and education, computer training, art therapy, womens, latino, and socialization. In the health and wellness groups, such topics such as; diabetes management, hypertension, hiv/aids, vaccines and immunizations, healthy nutrition, hepatitis c, health & fitness, smoking cessation, oral health, sugary drinks and an annual health fair are covered. Additionally, all residents participating in groups and individual sessions are encouraged to attend all behavioral and medical appointments, have annual physical exams, and improve nutritional habits and make lifestyle changes.
