Discharge Plan

At Shuler Homes our commitment to each resident extends beyond their time in our care. 

We believe that a succesful transition into independent living is a critical part of a young persons growth and healing journey. Our sucessful Discharge Plan is designed to ensure that every resident leaves our program equippedwith the tools, confidence, and support they need to thrive in the next chapter of their lives. 

As part of our transitional living model, residents participate in our Independent Living Skills Training Program, which provides a structured one-to-two-year period for youth to stabilize their lives, complete their education, and develop the essential skills needed to live independently and responsibly. These skills include, but are not limited to: 

  • Financial literacy and budgeting 
  • Job readiness and employment training 
  • Cooking, cleaning, and household management 
  • Time management and goal-setting 
  • Communication and self advocacy 
  • Navigating healthcare and community resources 

Residents enrolled in our Housing Workshop Program will recieve individualized housing planning to help secure long-term stability.  

Upon successful completion of the program, individuals may: 

  • Transition into permanent housing 
  • Enter supportive transitional housing 
  • Receive housing retention support to remain stably housed 

Our ultimate goal is for the majority of residents to secure safe, stable, and permanent housing by the time they are discharged from the program. 

We understand that the path to independence doesn’t end at discharge. 

 Therefore, Shuler Homes offers continued support through our Post Discharge Follow-Up Initiative. Residents who complete the program with good standing and positive behavior are elgible to receive monthly check- in calls from their assigned counselor for up to 6 months following discharge. These supportive and encouraging calls provide continued emotional guidance, resource navigation, and a reminder that they are never alone on their journey. 

“At Shuler Homes Inc., we walk beside our residents every step of the way, from crisis to confidence, and from housing instability to independence”

“Their success is our mission and their future is our purpose”
