Purpose: To provide chronically homeless mentally ill individuals with permanent supportive housing.

The City of Omaha has secured Shelter Plus Care funds from the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development for the purpose of providing permanent supportive housing to twenty-one chronically homeless mentally ill individuals.

The Shelter Plus Care Program is a tenant-based rental assistance program administered by the Omaha Housing Authority (OHA).   Eligible participants are referred by Community Alliance, and it is Community Alliance's Rehabilitation Services Division that provides the case management/supportive services needed by participants while OHA (by means of the Shelter Plus Care grant) provides the needed rental assistance.

For additional information on this program, contact either the Omaha Housing Authority or Community Alliance Rehabilitation Services.
