Housing Services

Independent living can create a feeling of self confidence and self reliance. Reaching this goal may require a helping hand to a person coping with a serious mental illness. Henderson offers a range of housing opportunities to assist these individuals. Parkside House, Rainbow Villas and the Summit are licensed Housing Treatment Facilities that provide individuals with needed supports to achieve the goal of independent living. The residences provide a warm, family atmosphere where learning comes naturally. Skills’ training includes cooking, housekeeping, medication management and budgeting. Treatment is geared toward the individual so that learning is rewarded and personally fulfilling. Supported Housing services work with people in their own home.

Who Benefits? People leaving mental health facilities or other community living environments interested in developing or strengthening their living skills.

What do we offer? Twenty-four hour a day supervision; skills training and development and supportive counseling.
