Housing
New Jersey, Manhattan, The Bronx, Westchester
Service Overview
Behavioral health services are a fundamental component of much of the work we do at VOA-GNY. Our specialized Behavioral Health Housing programs offer more intensive on-site support services than typical supportive housing programs, designed to meet the emotional, psychiatric, psychological, substance related, or behavioral needs of our clients.
Through individually-tailored case management and the support of a highly-skilled and compassionate team that includes licensed mental health counselors, licensed social workers, registered nurses and other practitioners, we help clients manage their health and live as independently as possible in the community.
Referrals for our Behavioral Health Housing programs are made through New York City and State agencies.
What We Do
Our team of mental health professionals, social workers, and other practitioners, work in partnership with clients to deliver trauma-informed care in a variety of settings, supporting each individual’s wellness goals.
