Step By Step’s Southeast Mental Health Division is excited to share news about a new program for the region called Tenant Service Coordination. The program assists individuals with significant behavior health challenges to successfully obtain and maintain permanent support housing within Philadelphia County.

A safe and secure place to live is an important part of recovery. The service supports individuals through the life cycle in assuring that permanent housing is maintained and that any housing-related issues is addressed in a timely manner in an effort to support and have them live as independently as possible.

The program was able to work to move the first individual into permanent housing in April. Prinze Whyee, Tenant Services Coordinator, states, “I am pleased to see the smile on the faces of the individuals we have helped to obtain housing and look forward to supporting other participants.”
