New to Housing?
Here at ASCHA, we know that a lot of research is involved when trying to decide what housing, services, and supports are right for you or a loved one. We often hear that "navigating the system" could be easier - whether the "system" is simply understanding the different types of housing, government services, benefits and programs, or how to arrange for various supports to maintain wellness.
How does everything work?
