Chestnut Health Systems provides several types of housing for persons with serious mental illness. Fourteen supervised living beds in the Oakmont Apartment complex are reserved for consumers served in our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program, and four beds are reserved for consumers in our Community Integrated Living Arrangement (CILA) program. Consumers in these programs receive 24-hour supervision and support provided by housing staff. On-site services include skills training, medication management, individual and group counseling, substance abuse treatment, and social and recreational programming. All housing residents also participate in one of Chestnut's case management programs, and many are active participants in the programs offered at the Edison Clubhouse.

We also offer short-term, transitional housing at several sites, to help persons in the process of leaving psychiatric hospitalization to begin their adjustment to community life. Located at the Grenzer Public Housing Complex in southern Madison County, and above the Edison Clubhouse, the transitional apartments are served by case managers. They work to obtain entitlements and alternative housing for program participants, and provide instruction in skills of daily living.
