Housing and supported living services are urgently needed for a 24-year-old male with an autism diagnosis and a history of significant childhood trauma who will be released from incarceration on September 17th, 2025. He is currently involved in the criminal justice system and has a court-appointed guardian. At release, he will have no stable housing and cannot be placed in traditional homeless shelters due to a history of behavioral outbursts tied to his diagnoses at local shelters. This young man has an I/O waiver with a behavior support add-on, which allows for the needed staffing to support his needs. He has shown great potential to succeed in the community when placed with the right team—one that is trauma-informed, consistent, and non-judgmental.

His support needs include:

-Stable, structured housing with trained staff that can work with people with both mental health challenges and behavioral support needs.

-Compassionate staff trained in trauma-informed care and autism support.

-Support for medication adherence.

-Transportation and reminders for probation appointments, therapy sessions, and community service.

-Ongoing behavioral support and sobriety maintenance.

-A team that can understand the emotional dysregulation caused by his early experiences with abuse and neglect.

-With the proper supports in place, he has the capacity to reintegrate successfully into the community and maintain compliance with his legal and treatment obligations.

-He thrives in environments where staff are patient, emotionally safe, and trained to manage behavioral health challenges without punitive responses.

-Housing options that allow him privacy and space from housemates. Ideally, he will live alone.

-Connection to providers with experience supporting individuals with dual diagnoses (ID/DD and mental health) A placement that can begin or at least be planned in advance of his release on September 17th.

Time is of the essence, and without appropriate housing and support, there is a high risk of recidivism and destabilization.
