WISH is a permanent, supportive housing program for dually diagnosed women (women who struggle with both drug and alcohol addiction and mental illness) and their children. The program provides housing in leased, scattered site apartments and houses, and intensive support services. The focus is on assisting women with building and maintaining healthy support systems, managing their drug and alcohol and mental health recovery programs, and living independently. The goal is to assist families, particularly those who face the greatest barriers to independence, to achieve and sustain lasting self-sufficiency.
