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 will apply 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.
All of the 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.
Twenty-five percent of the 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.
