Shelter Plus Care
The Shelter Plus Care Program offers housing to members of the disabled community that is linked directly to services appropriate to each resident. The housing comes from renting apartments in the community using rental assistance paid directly to a landlord. Services, such as mental and medical health, case management, education and training, and rehabilitation care are provided through partnerships with local agencies. The Housing Authority does its part by having regular contact with the resident to help him or her succeed and to administer the program.
Maclay Commons offers safe housing and associated social services to families who need it most. Maclay Commons is the home of the Joseph’s Residence Program, run by The Poverello Center, a non-profit service provider for homeless individuals and families.
Families must be considered homeless and income qualified to move into Maclay Commons. There are eight duplex buildings which include eight 2-bedroom residences and eight 3-bedroom residences and a community center that includes classroom space, office space for 24 hour staffing, nursing station and daycare.
