At BCHS, we offer a wide range of housing programs coupled with social services to meet the needs of formerly homeless and housing vulnerable individuals, mothers and children, veterans, and other Brooklyn residents. While we address our clients’ immediate need for housing, the hallmark of our work is community building.
Providing housing, targeted clinical services, and opportunities for community building, our clients regain their independence and find their own unique pathways to home and long-term success.
On-Site Residential Programs
Family Shelter is short-term housing that offers mothers and children a refuge from homelessness and/or domestic violence situations.
Transitional Supportive Housing provides comprehensive care, which includes medication management, case management, and other supports to individuals with severe mental illness.
Permanent Supportive Housing provides apartment-style housing coupled with supportive services for adults, many of whom are dealing with addiction or mental illness.
Affordable Housing provides low-income individuals with low-cost apartments so that rent never exceeds 30% of income.
