Supported Housing:Buckelew Programs Supported Housing recognizes that safe housing and wraparound services are fundamental to recovery. An essential aspect of our Supported Housing programs is the continuum of care we provide, helping clients through every step of their journey, from crisis to recovery and resilience. Our comprehensive service model supports individuals from intensive intervention and care to more independent living and the need for a lower level of care. Each client who comes through our doors receives customized care for their unique needs.

Service Navigation:Buckelew Programs Service Navigation educates and connects individuals experiencing mental health challenges and their advocates with resources to meet their unique needs. The behaviors of those experiencing undiagnosed mental illness or substance use affect the whole family, but caregivers often do not know where to turn for help. Stigma, too, prevents those in need from seeking services and leaves them feeling isolated and hopeless. Our Service Navigation programs show them they're not alone and recovery is possible.
