Shalom-Woodford Street is part of a larger mission dedicated to supporting adults living with mental illness through comprehensive community-based care and quality housing solutions. At Shalom-Woodford Street, the focus is on providing stable housing situations that enable individuals to regain control over their lives while receiving the personalized support they need. The environment is built on the belief that dignity and respect are fundamental rights of all clients. By fostering a compassionate care model, residents are empowered to make choices concerning not only their housing but also their personal journeys to recovery and independence.
Central to the approach at Shalom-Woodford Street is the understanding that basic needs such as stable housing must first be met before meaningful progress in treatment and recovery can take place. Once residents have a secure place to live, the foundation is laid for collaborative, individualized planning that navigates the complex path of mental health care. The team works closely with each client, providing a broad spectrum of services designed to break down the barriers of disconnected treatment and support the whole person. This integrated care model enhances clients' abilities to move towards greater independence and achieve stability in all areas of life.
Community integration is a core goal at Shalom-Woodford Street. The support system extends beyond just clinical care, encompassing assistance in building connections with family, friends, and neighbors. This commitment to inclusion and empowerment aims to help residents become active members of the wider community. The organization also continuously advocates for the needs and safety of those facing mental health and housing challenges, working at both the local and broader levels to improve outcomes for this vulnerable population.
Shalom-Woodford Street is part of a network providing a variety of residential options, including group homes, independent living apartments, and supported housing properties. The emphasis is on choice and flexibility, allowing clients to select the housing situation that best supports their goals and aspirations. Training and education are also priorities, both for staff and the larger public, focusing on developing the skills and knowledge necessary for effective care of individuals with serious and persistent mental illness. This commitment ensures that the support at Shalom-Woodford Street remains compassionate, individualized, and grounded in best practices, helping clients to lead stable and fulfilling lives within the community.
