Program Spotlight: Humanim’s iHomes program is a private non-profit community housing development organization (CHDO) providing long term, affordable housing options to low-income individuals who have been diagnosed with a developmental and/or psychiatric disability. Founded in 2010, iHomes’ mission is to provide stable, decent housing for low income individuals with disabilities within the community in which they work, as well as increased access to residential supports.
iHomes acts strictly as a developer and landlord but partners with other community organizations to provide support services for its residents. The type, frequency and provider of supports are driven by the individual tenant, but may include job readiness, job development, job placement, job coaching, mental health services, day habilitation, behavioral support, case management, in-home support services, transportation, daily living skills, case management, and/or individual rehabilitation planning.
