Supported Housingwith Central City Health
Central City Health recognizes the importance of an individual having safe housing to overall health and well-being. CCH’s commitment to integrating health services starts with our proactivity in combating homelessness. The basic provision of shelter is bedrock to individuals and families and their ability to care for themselves. CCH staff works to provide new solutions, strategies, and approaches to house our consumers. CCH also offers comprehensive services to better equip our consumers to maintain housing.
The Supportive Housing Division is comprised of numerous programs servicing individuals with varying needs and/or circumstances including people with severe mental illness and co-occurring disorders (severe mental illness and substance abuse) and people with physical or health disabilities who may also have a substance abuse problem. The housing department staff is specially trained to assist people in the transition from homelessness to permanent housing, enabling them to live as independently as possible.

“CET is my reason for hope. I first heard about CET through my case manager two years ago. She told me that it could help me with my concentration and memory.
