srups

SRUPS, or "Single Room Occupancy Plus" units, are a housing model designed to provide stable and affordable accommodations for individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability. These units typically consist of individual, private rooms, often furnished, with shared common areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. The "Plus" in SRUPS signifies the inclusion of supportive services aimed at helping residents achieve greater self-sufficiency. These services can vary but commonly include case management, mental health support, substance abuse counseling, job training, and assistance with obtaining permanent housing.

The goal of SRUPS is to offer a safe and supportive environment that addresses not only the immediate need for shelter but also the underlying issues contributing to homelessness. By providing a stable base and access to essential services, SRUPS aims to reduce recidivism into homelessness, improve health outcomes, and foster community integration for its residents. This model often serves as a transitional step towards more permanent housing solutions, equipping individuals with the resources and skills necessary for long-term stability. Eligibility for SRUPS programs is typically based on an assessment of housing need and individual circumstances.
