What We Do: FHARPS is designed specifically in overcoming barriers and finding and maintaining housing.
Residential supports connect individuals with housing through peer support and subsidies for costs such as application fees, security deposits, and up to a few months of rent vouchers while individuals are helped with finding more permanent housing support.
Forensic Housing and Recovery through Peer Services (FHARPS) follow the Housing First Model, an integrated safe and affordable housing based on Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). PSH provides tenants with the rights of tenancy under state and local landlord-tenant laws. It is linked to voluntary and flexible support and services designed to meet tenants' needs and preferences. PSH makes housing affordable to individuals with disabilities and low (or no) income.
