Housing We Help With

What first started as a small affordable housing initiative for 20 complex clients struggling with stable housing, has quickly grown into a comprehensive system of affordable housing, medical, and socioeconomic support.

Clients of Mint Communities are receiving comprehensive support, including food hampers, wellness check-ins, and comprehensive medical care to ensure a well-rounded approach. Our social outreach team and team of volunteers also ensure that clients are receiving consistent companionship, education, and the social and mental health support that they require.
