The Supervised Apartments Program is founded on person-focused values and provides the necessary structure, trainings and support to ensure the safety and well-being of residents. The goal is to promote self-determination, community inclusion and quality of life.

The program has 24-hour supervision by trained staff. Caring staff assists each resident in the areas of self-help, independence, and community living.

(Helping Individuals Gain Hope Will Always Yield Success) provides crisis intervention, counseling and supportive employment training, as well as a Thrift Shop, emergency assistance to homeless individuals and families, and emergency food bank.
