Description:<br />

The purpose of the OMHSAS Housing Workgroup was to draft a set of housing and service goals, priorities and<br />

strategies for expanding recovery-oriented housing options for consumers with serious mental disorders<br />

and/or co-occurring substance use disorders as a next step in Pennsylvania’s "A Call for Change: Towards a<br />

Recovery-Oriented Mental Health Service System for Adults." These recommendations are presented for<br />

identification and discussion.<br />

Educational Objectives: Participants will be able to:<br />

• describe the role of housing in a recovery oriented system of care;<br />

• identify the philosophy and practical aspects of the concept of separating housing from services;<br />

• use information from this workshop to share with colleagues.<br />
