Housing & Hope for Baltimore's Most Vulnerable Homeless Citizens.

Project PLASE's Transitional Housing Facilities

The mission of the transitional housing program is to house and service homeless citizens who have special needs (namely AIDS/HIV, mental health, psychiatric needs, chemical dependencies, developmental disabilities, etc.), in temporary housing with 24 hour supported supervision, case management and counseling, with a focus on helping the individual function at the highest level.

Project PLASE operates three transitional housing facilities located at

• 201 E. North Avenue
• 139 E. North Avenue
• 1814 Maryland Avenue

The facilities house a total of 62 men and women at any given time. All residents are provided three meals a day plus snacks, linens and bus tokens as needed, as well as assistance with medical appointments.

Project PLASE expanded in late 2001 to include the Medically Fragile Transitional Housing Facility. This facility is disability accessible and caters to the more intensive needs of our most vulnerable clients.

Supportive Services

At Project PLASE Transitional Housing Facilities, each resident is assigned a counselor for assistance and support. At a minimum, they will meet once a week. Active case management is given to assist the individual to meet his/her needs, move beyond the crisis situation, and avail him/herself of all community based services and resources as appropriate and necessary.
