Contact UsThere is no time limit for how long tenants can stay in our permanent supportive housing in Kansas. As long as you comply with the terms of your lease and remain eligible for the program, you can continue to live in Beacon Homes. This stability is a key component of successful long-term recovery and housing retention.
Support services are coordinated by Kim Wilson Housing and tailored to meet the specific needs of each tenant. Services may include case management, mental health support, life skills coaching, connection to community resources, and assistance with daily living, to ensure long-term housing success.
To get started with Beacon Homes, you’ll need a Coordinated Entry Assessment, performed through the Continuum of Care system. Don’t worry, Wyandot BHN can help guide you through the process and make sure you’re connected to the right people and organizations. If you qualify, you’ll be added to a list and referred to Kim Wilson Housing when a unit becomes available.
No. Permanent supportive housing operates on the Housing First model, which means sobriety is not a requirement for entry. We focus on providing safe, stable housing first, then offer voluntary services to support recovery and wellness.
Absolutely. Many of our tenants work, attend school, or participate in vocational programs. We encourage independence and will support you in pursuing your personal goals while maintaining housing.
Some units are available for individuals, while others can accommodate families. If you’re unsure whether your household qualifies, we can assess your eligibility and explore the available options.
