Program Summary:
The Path Home Program provides intensive case management and support in a dedicated 10-bed home with 24‐hour staffing to help people safely and successfully make the transition back into the community.

This is a short‐term program offering services for up to 6 months.
This program offers intensive case management service, 24‐hour PSW support, residential support Worker, medication support, navigation and coordination to community supports, recreational activity, and supports with independent life skills. The Path Home is a recovery‐based program which means that each client can set their own goals and feel empowered to make their own choices to change the direction their lives have taken.
Our program creates communities of mutual support that foster hope and independence where clients develop powerful relationships and build support networks. LOFT clients become part of a community where they are accepted without judgment. In addition, The Path Home Program provides safety, security, and a sense of belonging. If someone has felt excluded or different, finding acceptance can be a powerful therapy.
The Path Home is a place for recovery and growth within a supportive community for clients who need to continue their recovery and become as independent as possible before they move to permanent housing.
