Affordable, Comfortable, Convenient Housing

Our goal is to integrate residents into the community by providing support services that promote self-sufficiency and independent skills. Staff provides varying levels of support, depending on an individual’s need.

Our housing is considered to be transitional; it provides individuals with a homelike environment at an affordable cost for the period of time necessary for the individual to make more permanent or independent arrangements. In some cases, residency may be indefinite. There are set fees for room and board; the amount that a tenant pays is determined according to a sliding scale based on income. Once an individual is accepted, assistance is given with accessing entitlements that the individual may be eligible for, (such as food stamps, Medical Assistance insurance, and Section 8 housing).

The Transitional Age Youth (TAY)program provides psychiatric rehabilitation and, in certain cases, housing to young people 16-25 who have a mental health diagnosis and meet the eligibility requirements for Maryland’s Public Mental Health System (PMHS). This program is partially funded by a tri-county grant and therefore provides services to youth in the Southern Maryland counties of St. Mary’s, Charles, and Calvert. While the majority of persons who utilize this program reside in the community, many times with their family, Pathways operates a limited amount of program-sponsored, temporary housing for those for whom alternative arrangements are unavailable.
