At CPC, we believe that mentally ill persons can more fully receive the benefit of their treatment by having the security of basic shelter. CPC's "continuum of care" means we pay close attention to our clients' changing needs. From intensive, 24-hour supervised living, to the independence of one's own apartment, CPC can help provide the housing needed.

Residential Programs
CPC's residential facilities provide a safe, stable environment where chronically mentally ill adults can achieve personal goals and improved quality of life. Highly trained staff offer 24-hour supervision and opportunities for residents to develop independent living skills to help them work toward achieving more independent living situations.

Housing
Accessible, affordable and safe community-based housing options are provided according to client preference, eligibility requirements, and clinical need. Options include:

Cluster Houses - Two to five clients share semi-independent living with regular contact from CPC housing staff.

Specialized Recovery Houses - Specialized recovery houses for clients with co-occurring disorders of mental illness and chemical dependency.

Apartments - Independent living and case management services provided at new buildings with on-site management and located close to bus lines, shopping and other services.

Housing Subsidies - Section 8 certificates, Shelter Plus Care, and subsidized set-aside apartments are available.

Transitional Housing
Cedar House is a transitional housing/residential treatment facility that provides housing and services for homeless mentally ill young adults ages 18 to 24.

The Willows provides longer term stable housing and services for 15 mentally ill and chemically dependent, pregnant or post partum, mothers and children.

Safe Haven
Harbor House provides 20 units of housing and engagement services for chronically homeless, mentally ill individuals who may be disabled by alcoholism or substance abuse. This program is modeled after other highly successful Safe Haven programs across the nation which have effectively transitioned homeless persons into permanent housing.

Hospital Diversion and Crisis Respite
CPC has private beds designated to provide adults experiencing a mental health crisis, an alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, including a special crisis diversion program for developmentally disabled clients.
