Transitional Housing (RISE Program): BIMEC 1 and BIMEC 2 are state-of-the-art facilities designed to offer 32 Male residents and 11 Female residents two separate facilities. Most importantly, our residents experience a nurturing and supportive environment as they journey toward independence and stability. The facilities include handicap-accessible rooms and bathrooms. Laundry rooms are conveniently located on each floor. BIMEC is particularly excited about its community rooms and shared kitchen, which promote a sense of community, belonging, and cooperation among residents. BIMEC’s comprehensive case management services are at the heart of the transitional housing program. These services meet each resident’s unique needs, providing guidance and support in employment, education, mental health, and substance abuse recovery. The goal is to equip residents with the necessary tools and resources to achieve lasting independence.

Independent Living: BIMEC’s Long-Term Housing Program is a great transition for clients who have completed BIMEC’s RISE program; however, this program is not exclusive to RISE clients. Long-term housing provides a collaborative process that assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates the options and services required to meet the client’s health and human service needs. Some critical support services include Helping Hands furniture vouchers, personal care items, referrals to community resources, and a limited number of high-quality, fair market-value rentals that are available to the community, regardless of voucher status.
