On this episode of Solutions, host Cheryl Hawkins sits down with Abe Schuchman and Lisa Cook of Housing Unlimited, Inc. Housing Unlimited provides affordable, independent housing for adults in mental health recovery in Montgomery County, MD.
The organization promotes independence and recovery by providing a stable and comfortable home. With the security of knowing that their housing is secure, our tenants can focus on becoming valued and integrated members of the community. At Housing Unlimited they encourage their tenants to succeed in their independence by providing concrete incentives such as rent credits for getting involved in the community.
They also provide paid intern opportunities so that tenants can gain work experience. Many of the people that they serve come to Housing Unlimited from homeless shelters, supervised residential programs, or the homes of their aging parents. With more than 200 people on our waiting list, Housing Unlimited must continue acquiring new homes to meet the needs of adults in mental health recovery who are seeking a permanent, affordable, and independent place to live. We can’t grow fast enough to meet the increasing needs of the community.
