At OHI, we know people with mental illness often have a hard time finding safe and affordable housing. Co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders can make it even harder. We see it all around us, every day.

Sometimes, homelessness occurs after a psychiatric episode – when people act out in ways that lead to eviction – and homelessness is a common situation for people re-entering the community from hospitalization or incarceration. We also know a safe living situation is essential before people can move ahead and become productive and more independent members of the community.

OHI offers a variety of services designed to help people with disabilities access affordable housing…and keep it.

We provide links to:

  • Housing subsidies
  • SSI/SSDI
  • SNAP benefits (food stamps)
  • Medicaid and Medicare
  • Fuel assistance
  • Rent rebates
  • Local welfare programs
  • Food pantries
  • Self-advocacy
  • Basic skills training
