Permanent supportive housing (PSH), along with ongoing mental health services is a proven, effective formula for reducing the financial and social costs of homelessness, thus building healthier communities.
Working with partners at the local, state and federal levels, Dave’s House develops homes based upon best practice PSH models. These models combine a solid foundation of affordable and stable housing, accompanied by managed mental health care provided by our behavioral health service partners. We also coordinate with other well-being service providers to assist residents.
Our homes have a 90% retention rate for residents. All our residents participate daily in a productive activity including continuing education, volunteering and working. Through PSH, residents can more easily manage life obstacles, live in recovery and achieve their dreams. Our homes provide independence, a sense of security and a support network of acceptance and caring.
The Traditional Home Model, based on the scattered single family home concept, creates a residence where, typically, four individuals live together.
We are thrilled to share that we are, currently, in the process of establishing an entirely new Residential Community.
Working with community partners, other non-profits and behavioral health care providers, Dave’s House 360° provides Resident Development Programs to enhance resident services. Programs focus on the personal and professional betterment and life-long wellness of residents. They include day programs, volunteering and interactive workshops that offer new social, career, health and daily life skill training opportunities.
The Dave’s House Champions Mentorship Program connects trained volunteer mentors with residents at our Central Florida homes. Our mentors volunteer their time to help our residents face daily life challenges better and develop new skills.
They help residents overcome their feelings of isolation and seclusion, learn skills for social interaction and connection and learn how to build personal relationships. The program focuses on a more holistic recovery process and ongoing wellness to provide improved health, independence and life skills for success. It emphasizes individual personal interests in hobbies, talents and leisure pursuits.
We also celebrate resident birthdays, personal achievement milestones and holidays throughout the years with our residents.
Programs educate residents on managing life’s daily challenges with positivity and constructively.
