ACL launched the Bring it Home Campaign in October 2017 as a way to bring together community-based mental health housing providers, mental health advocates, faith leaders, along with residents and their families, to fight for community-based housing programs for individuals living with serious mental illness. Full recovery and community reintegration depends on stable housing opportunities. Through education and advocacy, Bring it Home is working to bring a modernized housing model to New York, which is currently relying on outdated housing models created decades ago, as everything has changed but the model .
Bring It Home’s Mission
Living in specialized community-based housing serves both the taxpayer and those with serious psychiatric disabilities well. But these housing programs are facing unprecedented fiscal challenges. Bring It Home’s mission is to raise awareness, get supporters actively involved in the campaign, and make sure that all New York State budgets include not only adequate funding, but funding that modernizes the system so providers can give the highest quality care to participants living in their programs.
