WISH stands for Wellness, Independence, Support, and Housing.
The WISH Team will partner with you to secure a home and connect with other services you may need to lead a healthy and stable life. When you’re experiencing chronic homelessness and other difficulties, finding permanent affordable housing can be challenging. That’s why we work with you to help you find a place to call home.
Break the cycle of homelessness
The goal of the WISH Team is to engage those who have histories of chronic homelessness compounded by mental health concerns, substance use, chronic illness, and/or trauma. By using a “housing first” approach, we help you establish and maintain housing while you work to improve your health and wellbeing.
The WISH Team will help you:
- Get off the street and find and keep affordable housing.
- Access care for your physical and mental health needs.
- Identify and access available resources to meet your immediate needs.
