Supporting Resident Well-Being

The health of our neighbors and the strength of our communities rely on affordable housing. Yet when affordable housing is not accessible, meeting other basic needs – education, health care, food security, transportation – is simply not possible.

Glick Housing Foundation has invested more than $16 million in providing onsite services to support resident well-being because a place to call home is more than four walls. Resident services – offered at no additional cost to the resident – are certified by Stewards of Affordable Housing.

All Glick Housing Foundation residents have access to:

• Onsite case management through resident service coordinators
• Tailored programming and engagement based on the community’s needs and interests
• Basic needs support, including food access, rental & utility assistance, and eviction prevention resources
