Community Residential
Supported Housing that provides 24-hour supervision. The programs are designed for clients who are experiencing a level of distress that requires 24-hour supervision but poses no significant danger that warrants inpatient hospitalization. They may be used in conjunction with other levels of care and must be supervised through a designated mental health treatment provider. Residential services are used as an alternative to returning home, or to other previous environments that may be deleterious to the client’s treatment plan requirements. These programs fall into three categories:
High Risk:
- 24-hour awake staffing
- On-call backup staff
- Psychiatric services on call 24 hours
- 24-hour crisis plan in place

Moderate Risk:
- Secure staffing, but not necessarily awake overnight
- Psychiatric services made available one time per month

Low Risk:

- 24-hour staff available on call
- Psychiatric services made available one time per month
