Housing Programs

Picture
A core belief at Iris House is that housing is a form of prevention: in order to improve your health, you need stable sources of food, income and housing.  Many of our clients come to Iris House without the security of a permanent address, or from living situations that are simply hazardous to their health. 

As part of our program to help people become healthier and live more independent lifestyles, we run a comprehensive scatter site housing program while providing intensive case management and support programs.

Iris House clients who meet HRA/HASA eligibility requirements can get help in securing and maintaining housing in the community where they can live independently and access necessary services.

The Scatter-Site Housing Program (SSHP) provides a comprehensive scope of services:
  • Housing Placement
  • Case Management
  • Maintenance Support
  • Substance Abuse Services
  • Administrative Support

To be eligible for the Scatter-Site Housing Program, clients must:
  • Be a New York Resident
  • Be a client of HRA/HASA
  • Be referred to Iris House, Inc. by HASA
  • Have the ability to function independently in an apartment
  • Have need for supportive housing services
  • Have willingness to pay 30% of his/her income for program fees*
* Note: Clients on public assistance are not required to pay fees until they are in receipt of SSI/SSD or any other types of income. During that time, there is no request for fees other than phone, gas and electric, in which Scatter-Site Housing Program will assist with a fixed monetary allowance for these items.

To learn more about Scatter-Site Housing, call Nathalie Menard, Clinical Supervisor for an appointment at (646) 548-0100 or nmenard@irishouse.org
