Henry Street Settlement’s newest program facility — a supported permanent housing residence on East Third Street — was opened on May 30, 2007, to provide affordable housing for New Yorkers facing challenges like mental illness and homelessness.
The brand new building has 52 efficiency apartments for single adults. Some 43 units are occupied by individuals with a long history of homelessness as well as mental health problems, many of whom have never before lived on their own. (Nine apartments are occupied by low-income residents of the local community district.)
Because the new facility works in conjunction with the Community Consultation Center, Henry Street’s state-certified mental health clinic, residents receive much more than shelter. The Settlement provides on-site case management and supportive services, including recreation and group activities, and referrals to the full range of Settlement services.
