Guiding Philosophy of Triple C Housing

At Triple C Housing, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, autonomy, and support, regardless of the challenges along their journey. Over the past 45 years, we have consistently strived to create supportive, inclusive housing environments that foster independence, promote recovery, and empower individuals and families to lead meaningful lives. Our work is rooted in our philosophy of person-directed support, psychiatric rehabilitation principles, and a commitment to addressing the social determinants of health. These principles guide us as we work to build partnerships that advance housing equity and create integrated housing solutions for individuals and families with special needs.

Person-Directed Support: Empowering the Individual

Our Person-Directed Support philosophy has been the heart of Triple C Housing’s services. This approach emphasizes choice, self-determination, and respect for the unique needs and preferences of each individual. We believe that the people we serve are the best experts on their own lives and are most capable of identifying the support they need to achieve their goals. This philosophy has guided our work for over four decades, enabling us to provide housing solutions that are not only stable but also empowering.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation: Fostering Recovery and Well-Being

Triple C Housing is built on the principles of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, which focus on helping individuals with mental health challenges build the skills and supports they need to live full, independent lives. Recovery is a journey that goes beyond symptom management; it involves rebuilding life skills, fostering social connections, and ensuring that individuals can participate fully in community life.

Our services are designed to provide the tools and resources needed for individuals to overcome barriers, regain confidence, and rebuild a sense of purpose. By focusing on strengths rather than limitations, we help individuals develop the resilience they need to navigate life’s challenges and thrive in their communities.

Addressing the Social Determinants of Health

At Triple C Housing, we understand a wide range of factors influences outcomes related to one’s overall well-being. The Social Determinants of Health, including access to housing, education, healthcare, employment, and social support, play a critical role in an individual’s overall quality of life. Our work goes beyond providing safe housing—it is about addressing the broader social and environmental factors that contribute to well-being.

Through strategic partnerships, we work to ensure that the individuals we serve have access to the resources they need to thrive. Whether it is helping someone access mental health services, job training, or social services, we take a holistic approach to supporting recovery and fostering well-being.

Advancing Housing Equity and Integrated Solutions

Over the last 45 years, one of the key pillars of our work has been our commitment to advancing housing equity. We recognize that individuals and families with special needs often face significant barriers in accessing safe, affordable housing. At Triple C Housing, we aim to break down these barriers by creating integrated housing solutions that provide stable, supportive homes for individuals and families facing mental health challenges and other special needs.

Our niche in building partnerships has been instrumental in advancing our mission. We collaborate with local governments, housing developers, nonprofit organizations, for profit development partners and healthcare providers to create housing that is not only affordable but also accessible and supportive. These partnerships are essential to ensuring that we can offer holistic, person-centered care that addresses both housing needs and the broader social factors that impact individuals’ lives.

The Guiding Philosophy of Triple C Housing is underscored by the 3 C’s in our logo:

• Care: We provide what is necessary for the health, welfare, and protection of each individual, ensuring that all needs are addressed in a person-directed, collaborative manner.
• Community: We embrace the fellowship and diversity within communities, striving to maximize community integration for every person and family we serve, and ensuring they become an integral part of community life.
• Choice: Every individual has the right to choose and take the lead in their wellness and recovery journey. We empower people to make decisions that align with their personal goals and needs.
