Home Is Just the Beginning
When someone walks through our doors, they’re met with more than just shelter. They’re connected to compassionate case managers, healthcare providers, and housing specialists who work beside them every step of the way. Through our Rapid Re-Housing and Supportive Housing programs, Columbus House helps individuals and families move out of homelessness and into safe, stable homes—creating the foundation they need to heal, grow, and thrive.
Pathways to Independence
This innovative program was piloted at Columbus House in 2011 and has since become a permanent program, largely funded through state resources. The program recognizes the critical intersection of housing and recovery, addressing these through coordinated services.
Supportive Housing
These programs combine affordable housing with essential support services to help people who are experiencing homelessness maintain stable, independent lives. Clients receive ongoing support such as case management, mental health services, and help with daily living skills—ensuring they not only stay housed but thrive long-term.
