Safe, stable housing is the foundation everything is built on.
Care is built around your family, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Housing and residential services help adults and families living with mental illness find stability through safe, supported housing. We offer different levels of housing and support depending on need, from residential care with more support to independent living with a lighter touch. We also help people facing homelessness navigate their options. The goal is stability, dignity, and a place to call home.

Not sure where to start? That is normal.
Most people who reach out are not certain what kind of help they need, and that is okay. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or the right words. Tell us a little about what is going on, and we will help you find the right place to begin.
Care that grows with you, not a program you outgrow.
Life changes, and support should change with it. Because all of our services sit under one roof, you can move between them without starting over. A teen who first meets us through a school program can find counseling as an adult. A family navigating a loved one’s illness can find housing and case management in the same place they found their first appointment.

Questions, answered simply.
The questions we hear most, answered simply. Still unsure? We are glad to talk it through.
How much does housing cost?
It depends on the program and your situation. Some residential services are covered by Kansas Medicaid, and MHASCK offers sliding scale fees where they apply. Our team will give you an honest picture of costs and coverage for the options that fit you, so you know what to expect.
Does submitting an application guarantee placement?
No. Applying is an important first step, but it does not guarantee immediate placement, since space and wait times vary by program. We will be honest with you about availability and timelines, and help you explore all your options, including partner referrals, so you are not left waiting without a plan.
How long is the wait?
Wait times vary by housing type and current availability. Some options move faster than others. When you reach out, our team will give you a realistic sense of timelines for the programs that fit your situation, and help you find interim options if you need somewhere sooner.
Can a family member apply on someone's behalf?
Yes, with the person’s involvement and permission. Family members often help a loved one navigate housing, and we welcome that. We will explain what information is needed and keep the person at the center of decisions about their own housing and care.
What housing types do you offer?
We offer a range, including transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, residential care, and veteran housing, along with help navigating shelter and homelessness. Our Housing Types and How to Apply page explains the options, and our team will help you find the level of support that fits.
Do you accept Medicaid for residential services?
Some residential and supportive services are covered by Kansas Medicaid, and MHASCK offers sliding scale fees where they apply. Coverage depends on the specific program and your eligibility. Reach out and our team will help you understand what is covered for your situation.
Do you offer veteran housing?
Yes. We offer housing and transition support for veterans, and we connect you with veteran-serving partners as well. See our Veteran Housing and Support page for details, or reach out and we will help you understand the options and how to apply.
