Homestead was founded in 2005 in Davis,
CA to meet a community identified need of providing affordable housing
to people with a severe mental illness. Without the supportive services
provided to residents many of the individuals housed would be unable to
live in the community, require increased crisis and long-term
hospitalization, or worse, become homeless. This program has been very
effective in reducing the number and frequency of hospitalizations and
in assisting individuals to return to work and school.
Homestead Supportive Housing Corporation
serves over 21 adult clients annually through our housing program.
Homestead serves adults with mental illness who are living independently
in the community. This low income supported housing program provides
psychiatric, social and independent living service in a compassionate,
community based environment. Clients get the living skills training,
counseling and advocacy services necessary to maintain their independent
living situation in the community. The services provided at Homestead
ensure that individuals with a mental illness enjoy the freedom of
independent living.
YCCC developed and currently operates Homestead with our housing development partner CHOC (Community Housing Opportunities Corporation).
CHOC’s mission is to increase the availability of affordable housing
and to improve the quality of life for very low, low and moderate income
households.
