Serious Mental Illness

Dave’s House provides permanent supportive housing for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and co-occurring disabilities which include:

  • schizophrenia
  • schizoaffective disorder
  • psychotic disorders
  • major depressive disorders
  • bipolar disorders
  • borderline personality disorder
  • anxiety disorders
  • eating disorders
  • obsessive compulsive disorder
  • posttraumatic stress disorder
  • disruptive behavior disorders

SMI disrupts the way a person thinks, feels, relates to others and functions on a daily basis. The best treatments for SMI today are highly effective. Between 70 and 90 percent of individuals have significant reduction of symptoms, improved quality of life, and a satisfying measure of achievement and independence when a combination of pharmacological and psychosocial treatments and support services, like safe, permanent housing, are used.
