Master Leasing offers housing and wrap-around supportive services to individuals who are diagnosed with severe and persistent mental health concerns with co-occurring criminal justice involvement and housing instability. Supported housing through the program is time-limited to two years. A dedicated Case Manager provides tenant support, landlord mediation, and personalized case management services. Participants in the program engage in life skills development to take over the lease for the unit they reside in upon completion of the Master Leasing program and sustain permanent housing of their own.
