Housing is about more than a place to sleep, it\u2019s tied to our physical well-being, mental well-being and social well-being. Housing is an affordable, safe space that protects us. It\u2019s a secure, private space of our own, and it\u2019s a place to gather with members of our communities. Good housing can help rebuild and maintain independence, day-to-day routines, confidence and social networks. Research shows that people living with a mental illness who live where they want to are more likely to have a job, access to social supports and a higher quality of life than those whose housing doesn\u2019t meet their needs.<\/em><\/p>\n Of course, housing is deeply tied to the bigger social picture. Housing is linked to income, which is linked to education and experience, and so on. A positive change in housing can help influence positive changes in other factors that affect our well-being. Housing isn\u2019t just about a house\u2014it\u2019s part of a path to safety, security, connectedness and acceptance.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” animation_style=”fade” hover_enabled=”0″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_tabs module_id=”housing-services-tabs” module_class=”vertical-tabs1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_tab title=”Housing Services” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Supported Housing<\/strong><\/p>\n CMHA, in partnership with Mental Health Services, operates two care facilities, with a combined total of 26 beds, for individuals requiring structured assistance at various stages of their recovery.
