Program areas at Eliot Community Human Services
Adult Community Services: providing Community based residential programming to adults with chronic mental illness as well as to adults with developmental disabilities in homes located throughout the commonwealth. Also providing support to the same populations who have attained a sufficient level of self-preservation and live in their own apartments, this support is done through case management and Community support Services. We also offer pact programs that deliver an intensive, community-based array of Services for individuals with mental illness who require a higher level of support, but may be resistant to traditional models of treatment. Day Services for this population are offered in different areas and serve the various levels of the population. We offer clubhouse Services through a national model of care to individuals with mental illness that provides wraparound Services to adults. These day programs offer life skills as well as vocational and employment support.

Outreach to the unhoused population across the commonwealth is conducted in state and locally funded shelters, drop in and warming centers, and places not meant for Human habitation.
