BAYSIDE HOUSING & SERVICES

Bayside Housing & Services employs a unique partnership with a hotel to rent out a floor of hotel rooms that we then offer on an extended-stay basis to low-income individuals and couples facing homelessness while on waiting lists for subsidized housing. We offer personalized case management assisting with filling out housing applications, scheduling and transportation for medical appointments, and navigating other social services that are related to independent living and securing long-term housing.

With twenty units, we can house 20-30 people at a time. Since opening in April 2016, we’ve provided over 2600 bednights to people who would have otherwise been unsheltered or living in unsafe conditions. We prioritize seniors, families, veterans, and low-wage/underemployed workers who need housing to retain employment.

While most services have been limited to residents so far, we’ve launched a Women-to-Women Listening Circle that is open both to residents and the general public, and have future plans for a culinary training program that could provide work training and housing at the same time.
