Elevating Housing
Supportive Housing that Promotes Independence
Elevate, in partnership with Equal Development, LLC and Valenti Property Management, is planning to develop a residential community that will create a culture of support and independence for individuals with disabilities. In August of 2023, the team applied for funding to construct 48 residential units within Henderson County. Elevate will construct a new facility on the campus of the residential community and offer supports to individuals to help them lead a more independent life.
38 apartments in the community will offer permanent supportive housing services and accept referrals through the coordinated entry process. One of the main purposes of coordinated entry is to ensure that people with the most severe service needs and levels of vulnerability are prioritized for housing and homeless assistance. Individuals who qualify for permanent supportive housing have a disability that presents a significant health barrier, behavioral health challenges or functional impairments which require a significant level of support to maintain permanent housing.
10 units will be set aside for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who are on their journey to an independent life but need modest supports. All residents will be able to access supports through Elevate and other community partners.
Affordable Housing
Creating a Community of Support
Residents in the community will have opportunities for socialization, mentorship, and group activities that build strong relationships among neighbors.
Supportive Services
Creating a Path to Independence
Individuals with disabilities that create a barrier to independence will have access to housing based case managers who will create a person-centered program of supports to help each resident reach milestones toward living independently.
Community Partnerships
Coming Together to Achieve Success
We elevate our community by elevating each other. Community service organizations are invited to participate in all aspects of residential life and support services. Designated space for organizations to have a continual presence will be available.
