Williams Consent Decree
The Williams Consent Decree enables qualifying individuals with mental illness to be moved from state-funded facilities into communities where they can live independently with professional support. To move out of an institution, an individual must have a mental health illness, be willing and able to move and accept the terms of the program, as well as have approval from his or her guardian. The overall goal of the program is to move consumers from state-funded facilities into permanent supportive housing where they will have independence and support.
To meet this goal, consumers receive transition coordination, support to continue their education or to get a job, as well as coaching from peers who have lived through similar experiences.
Non-Clinical Support
Consumers in this program also have access to 2 consumer-run drop-in centers. The centers are designed to provide a non-clinical environment for individuals to socialize, receive support from their peers and access computers. The supervised building spaces include a computer room and a seating area with a large screen television.
