More than housing — support for the whole journey

At Dwelling Place, a home is just the beginning. Our Support Services team walks alongside residents, helping them overcome challenges, access resources, and build pathways toward stability, growth, and thriving communities.

Why it matters

Stable housing is about more than four walls. With the right support, residents are able to:

  • Stay in their homes during difficult times

  • Access resources that improve health and wellbeing

  • Build financial stability and independence

  • Connect with neighbors and feel a stronger sense of belonging

  • Grow skills, confidence and opportunities for the future
