OUR PROGRAMS
PROVIDING A CANCER RETREAT
UCR is building a Cancer Respite and Wellness Center in the heart of Washington, DC. Getting the right care sometimes means cancer patients must travel far away from home, often to a cancer treatment facility in another city, which increases their emotional and financial burden during what is already a challenging time. We want to make this difficult situation easier for cancer patients and their caregivers through free, temporary housing facilities for cancer patients who are undergoing cancer treatment.
PROVIDING AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING
Enabling clients to empower their life as well as maximizing their individual opportunities is our primary concern. We assist participants in smoothing their transition to independence by providing affordable rental housing to individuals with disabilities such as: Mental Illness, Cancer, HIV/AIDS, etc. When requested, we assist participants with their independent living skills, such as: housekeeping, money management, social and interpersonal skills.
PROVIDING SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
Supportive housing is permanent, affordable housing linked to health, mental health, employment, and other support services. Supportive housing has proven to be a cost-effective way to end homelessness for people who face the most complex challenges. Supportive housing not only improves the life of its residents but also has the potential to generate significant public savings.
