What Is Supportive Housing?

Supportive Housing is more than a place to live—it’s a stable, structured, and empowering environment designed to help individuals build independence while receiving the supports they need to thrive. At My People Community Services (MPCS), our Supportive Housing programs combine safe, supportive housing with individualized case management, life skills development, and access to community resources that promote long-term stability and wellness.

Our Purpose and Goals

The goal of MPCS Supportive Housing is to support, empower, and rebuild the lives of those who have experienced barriers to independent living. Through consistent guidance, accountability, and encouragement, we help residents strengthen life skills, maintain stable housing, and pursue personal growth, education, and employment. Our team provides hands-on support to ensure that residents not only meet their basic needs but also work toward self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.

Who We Serve

​Our Supportive Housing programs serve young adults ages 18–26 who are involved with the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). Participants may be transitioning from residential treatment, facing challenges related to mental health or substance use, or seeking support as they work toward independent living. Each resident is provided with an individualized plan designed to promote growth, connection, and recovery.

Program Overview

MPCS operates five Supportive Housing programs, each designed to meet unique resident needs while maintaining the same foundational values of structure, accountability, and compassion.
Residents receive:

• Individualized case management and goal planning
• Weekly one-on-one check-ins with a Clinical Case Manager
• 24-hour on-site staff support and supervision
• Life skills coaching, financial literacy, and wellness workshops

Our housing programs promote dignity, responsibility, and independence—offering residents a chance to transition from surviving to thriving.
