Geel Community Services’ Mission

Our mission is to enable people with mental illness and co-occurring disorders to establish and maintain safety and stability in a supportive living environment. Geel’s housing and support services combine a coordinated, self-directed approach that is individually tailored, and trauma informed. Our model promotes increased self-sufficiency, self-worth, recovery, and the ability for those we serve to live independently within their communities.

Program Description

The Supportive Housing (Scattered Sites) is a 128 bed unit that is designed as permanent housing for individuals, some with families, who have a mental health diagnosis who can benefit from supportive services. Support services are provided either in the individual’s home or at the Supportive Housing Office. Residents have access to the program’s 24‑hour on call system. The services include an assigned case manager in a collaborative, goal oriented manner allowing for client choice and respecting individuality and independence.

Activities of Case Managers are aimed at linking the tenants in Supported Housing to the service system, community resources and support systems, and at coordinating the various services in order for the tenant to achieve successful independent living.
