Odyssey House Tinton Avenue 65 apartments
Avenue, opened in the Bronx in 2014, serving 121 chronically homeless adults with a diagnosis of serious mental illness. Tenants in both buildings have access to a full range of supportive services, including substance abuse and mental health treatment, medical and dental care, educational and vocational services, and community-based recovery networks. Dedicated to being a valued community partner while improving quality of life for the vulnerable people we serve, both buildings have been designed with special care to match their neighborhoods’ architectural styles, while encouraging tenant interaction through communal dining rooms, lounges, on-site gym facilities, and landscaped courtyards. Our model demonstrates not only that permanent, supportive housing is essential to breaking the cycle of homelessness, but that, with the proper support, formerly homeless New Yorkers can live in their own homes despite serious mental health challenges.
Fully-equipped gyms and a range of fitness classes promote exercise and community engagement.
