Description (Service) Residential Support Program - This program provides supported congregate living for individuals living with a serious mental illness in two homes located in Owen Sound and Wiarton, Ontario. Life skills training, assistance with activities of daily living, support for individual recovery and working towards self-identified goals are key components of Residential Support services. Residents are also supported in identifying opportunities for meaningful contributions or employment in their community.

There is a cost for rent that includes meals. Residential Support housing is rent-geared-to-income and requires that you complete annual income verification paperwork.

The program is intended to assist people by providing appropriate housing and support services to achieve and maintain stability in a home that is safe and affordable. The program takes a recovery approach and provides access to support services both in the CHO home and in the community.

CHO provides housing, meals, and 24-hour supportive care services in a home setting for people with serious mental illness.
