In contrast to our transitional housing programs, permanent supported housing is not time-limited. Each tenant in the program holds his or her own lease and is protected by all the statutes that apply to any New York City tenant living in a rent-stabilized apartment. Community Access has developed five separate supported housing programs. All share features central to our philosophy of community integration and self-help:
- Services are provided to help the tenants based on their needs.
- All apartments are situated in buildings shared by "non-disabled" tenants, including families.
- Tenant screening and selection procedures follow federal Fair Housing guidelines and the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which do not allow discrimination based on factors other than a person's ability to live responsibly in his or her apartment.
