Passion Meets Purpose
HOW MENTAL ILLNESS CHANGED MY LIFE
Around the age of 5, I had my first devastating life altering encounter with mental illness as a close relative had the first of numerous nervous breakdowns. Seeing a person engage in unrecognizable behaviors let an impression that I will never forget. To this day, the saga of mental illness is yet still an unpredictable rollercoaster. Combating mental illness of a relative often means mitigating years of medication non-compliance, financial and housing instability, safety threats, and denial which shifts the familial dynamics and turns a loved one into a familiar stranger. I am certain most people who love a person living with untreated or unmanaged mental illness have shared concerns about what to do and how to go about it. Finding the right treatment interventions can be far more complicated when there are limited resources, education, and support systems for those persons impacted by a chronic mental health condition.

Something in Common
I grew up in the inner city projects raised in a single parent home. I have been in the throws of poverty and have close relatives who still struggle with chronic substance use, mental illness, poverty, homelessness and a criminal history. Support goes a long way when you truly understand the struggle and at Guiding Paths, sensitivity is instinctive making it second nature to nurture vulnerable populations. The difference between destruction and destiny is guidance, having someone point the way and direct the path. It is our goal at Guiding Paths to help other vulnerable populations get on the path to their purpose.

Shared Housing
Residential Services
Guiding Paths offers a plethora of shared affordable housing options. Right now, we are prioritizing veterans and individuals living with a diagnosed mental illness but may be able to accommodate other transitional populations upon request.

Veterans
Too many Veterans are without safe, affordable housing. Guiding Paths is here to serve our heroes who are in transition and or experiencing homelessness.
For very low-income Veterans, we connect them with an SSVF which provides case management and supportive services in the transition process to help them identify a new, more suitable, permanent housing situation for the individual and his or her family.

*Please note that housing options are both Co-ed & Non-Intergrated
Individuals Living with Mental Health Conditions
We specialize in providing transitional housing for individuals who are living and coping with mental health conditions. Often times people living with mental health conditions struggle to ascertain resources and supports for a sustainable lifestyle. We not only provide housing but provide education on mental health conditions while enriching their engagement in mental wellness.

*Please note that housing options are both Co-ed & Non-Integrated . Housing preferences is based on availability.
