The Louisiana Industries for the Disabled/Women's Community
Rehabilitation Center is a structured, reality-oriented Residential
Treatment Program with a vocational focus. The Supported Living
Program is the only supported living program of its kind for homeless
mentally ill women in the Baton Rouge area. Services are provided to
homeless mentally ill women, with or without children, who could have
a history of substance abuse or be dually diagnosed. The program
provides case management support services to approximately 30 homeless
mentally ill women to obtain permanent housing, to assist clients to
access permanent housing, as well as to maintain their living
situation until they reach self-sufficiency. SHP funds provide for
supportive services to assist with payment of case management services
and other client assistance expenses. Grant funds awarded under the
1997 SHP have been expended. The project received one year renewal
funding under the 2002 SHP for the continued delivery of services.
