Supportive Services

Our sites offer more than shelter; they are transformative spaces where individuals can rebuild their lives in a supportive community. It is not just the structures, but also the approach that make CVC’s shelter successful: centering the experiences of people experiencing homelessness, hiring staff with lived experience, and building community support. Our Supportive Services team is composed of qualified individuals who have unique lived experiences, exemplifying the transformative power of recovery and the positive outcomes that come from peer-led support.

CVC’s Supportive Services program includes our experienced Mental Health Clinicians, Peer Support, and Case Management team. Peer Support provides on-site emotional and mental health mentoring, and access to recovery options. Case management connects community members to partnering health providers, housing and benefit navigation, access to vital documents, emergency services, and post-housing support. Additionally, we work with certified and trained mental health counselors and therapists to ensure our community members are receiving the care needed to pursue a variety of housing, education, employment, and personal goals.
