Well House Information

At Well House, we believe a solution to homelessness is housing. Well House provides safe, affordable housing to the homeless. We recognize that each individual has their own unique needs and challenges, and that a “one size fits all” approach is often a barrier to housing. EMPHASIS ON CHOICE. Client-centered strategies that cater to various subpopulations, each with its own unique needs and challenges, demonstrate higher success rates for recovery and community integration. A “one size fits all” approach has proven to be unsuccessful. CLIENT-CENTERED. Services to homeless residents are most effective when adapted to the needs of the client, particularly those with mental illness and addictions; rather than organizing services based on efficiencies or expertise in service delivery. HOUSING FIRST. Homeless are provided immediate access to a place of their own without requiring treatment or sobriety as a precondition for housing. Residents are supported with treatment options for their recovery and integration into the community. We are so grateful to all of our supporters: donors, volunteers, elected officials, service providers, tenants and other community members. With your help, we can continue to grow our organization and expand this crucial work!
