ANCHORS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
ANCHORS was developed to provide permanent and supportive housing program for Kings County. The ANCHORS program was a partnership between the Kings County Behavioral Health Department and the Kings County Housing Authority. The Capital Needs and Facilities (CFNT) funding from Prop 63 was used to build the housing complex which has five (5) – two (2) bedroom units. Each unit has a full kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedrooms.
The housing units were built to provide permanent and supportive housing to individuals living with a severe mental illness/emotional disturbance or families of someone living with an SMI/SED.
The project was just completed in 2015 and now houses residents who are all also participants in our FSP program. The housing complex has a wellness center on site for residents to hold groups, conduct social and educational functions.
The ANCHORS project also features and FSP Recovery Support Coordinator on site who provides the support, referral and linkages needed by residents. There are office spaces in the wellness center as well for partner agencies to use when rendering services to residents. Property is managed by the Housing Authority and the program is managed by Behavioral Health. Resident rent sustains the program, and staffing is funded through our Community Support and Services Plan (CSS).
