LeonaBlanche House

LeonaBlanche house is home to 53 formerly homeless New Yorkers who cope with mental illness. This residence is a hybrid of supportive housing models, providing clinical services within a setting that promotes independence and self-sufficiency. In-house services available to residents include psychiatry, nursing, and case management. Residents share communal spaces although each resident has his/her own private room. Residents receive disability payments and some are employed in part-time or stipend work. LeonaBlanche house was completed in 2004 with financing from New York State Office of Mental Health.
