The Housing Authority purchased the former motel at 2904 State St. with the intention of providing permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals. The Housing Authority has contracted with WillBridge to provide the on-site service through their Permanent Supportive Housing Program.  2904 State St. provides low income housing for individuals who are currently housed in temporary housing situations and are now ready to live in a more independent setting, who require minimal supervision but continue to receive case management and other supportive services.  These residents are often employed, enrolled in school, or other vocational training programs. They pay 30% of income in rent, make their own meals, clean their own rooms, care for the common areas of the housing, and are building the skills necessary to prepare them for completely independent living. The goal of  supportive housing is to empower individuals, assist them is reintegrating back into community living and support their efforts in rebuilding their lives.
