Housing instability and behavioral health conditions often intersect — and resolving one without the other rarely sticks. Through the Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) program, BHS Housing Navigators meet clients where they are and walk alongside them through every step of the housing process.
Navigators assist with housing plans, ID recovery, subsidy applications, and move-in support. The goal is to help clients remove barriers and move into permanent supportive housing — and stay there.
