Permanent Supportive Housing

Shelter Plus Care

Shelter Plus Care is a federal program designed to provide rental subsidies and supportive services to individuals with disabilities who are homeless, primarily those with chronic mental illness, substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS.

Partners include Southwestern Behavioral Healthcare and AIDS Resources Group, as well as area landlords.

Aurora has a Housing Specialist, Patty Pyle, who connects the clients of partners with landlords who are willing to work with this type of housing.

**If you are a landlord with efficiency apartments and have an interest in learning more about how you can help house people who have been homeless, contact Patty at 812.428.3246 x 33 or patpyle@auroraevansville.org.**
