Housing & Homelessness Services

A Place to Call Home

When someone is experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing housing, finding a safe place to live can be a critical first step forward.

We help qualified individuals and families find resources and understand options for supportive housing designed to meet people where they are. Having a place to call home can give people the foundation they need to focus on their health, recovery, relationships, employment and goals for the future.

More Than Just A Roof Over Your Head

Housing instability can happen for many reasons. Mental health challenges, substance use, poverty, family crisis, involvement with the child welfare system or aging out of foster care can all make it difficult to maintain a safe and stable home. Support may include:

  • Help locating or maintaining safe, affordable housing
  • Connections to mental health and substance use treatment
  • Rental assistance when qualified 
  • Connection to community resources
  • Opportunities for peer support

Supportive Housing for Adults and Families

Without stable housing, it can be difficult to focus on wellness and recovery.

Oaks helps adults and families who may be struggling with mental health or substance use, experiencing homelessness or facing other barriers to maintaining housing such as financial hardship, find resources and understand options for supportive housing.

Help for People Experiencing Homelessness

Sometimes the first step is simply making a connection. Our team reaches people living in shelters, motels, on the street, transportation centers and other locations and helps connect them with housing, mental health and substance use treatment and other community resources.

The goal is to help individuals move from instability toward housing, treatment and ongoing support.
