Have you heard about H.O.M.E.?

H.O.M.E. is a special program that assists people who have psychiatric disabilities and are having problems with their housing.

WE ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DENIED SAFE AND DECENT HOUSING BECAUSE OF A PSYCHIATRIC DISABILITY. WE CAN HELP WITH PROBLEMS SUCH AS:

• Bad plumbing or heating
• Inability to keep the apartment clean
• Being told you have to move
• Problems paying the rent on time
• Not getting the support services you need from your mental health provider or State.

People receiving DMHAS services have many rights, such as -

• Living as independently as they can
• Being informed in advance about changes in services and living arrangements
• Being treated with dignity and respect
• Being involved in making decisions and services
• Making choices without being coerced or threatened.

H.O.M.E. may be able to help you or someone you know who is having housing problems.

The H.O.M.E. Project is not a state agency or a provider of mental health services.

If you want more information about the rights of people receiving DMHAS services, please call:
