OHM provides 87 scattered‑site units of housing to individuals eligible for the program. The first program offers 70 units to chronically homeless single adults with SSI/SSD and serious persistent mental illness (SPMI) or who are diagnosed as Mentally Ill and Chemically Addicted (MICA). The second program supplies 10 units to SPMI individuals residing in OMH psychiatric centers, Article 28 inpatient hospitals, residential treatment programs, and adult homes. The third program provides 7 units to SPMI individuals who have resided in OMH psychiatric centers or OMH‑operated residential programs for one year or longer. All apartments are located in Brooklyn. The case‑management services focus on removing barriers to maintain housing by ensuring clients’ basic needs are met and connecting them to needed services, such as mental health and substance abuse. The operations component ensures housing units meet habitability standards through repairs, new unit identification, lease negotiation, and vacancy readiness. Clients contribute 30% of income toward rent. Position: Case Manager
