Langarth Site
Langarth Site is a special permanent housing initiative for clients with serious mental health issues who have had difficulty acquiring and maintaining decent housing. Begun in May 2003, it is a 23 unit apartment building with units procured from the property provider, managed by WOTCH, and sublet to clients. Potential tenants will be selected from a waiting list as vacancies occur. All individuals referred to this program must have been diagnosed as seriously mentally ill and homeless, or at risk of being so. In a unique partnership, six of the units are sublet to clients from Women's Mental Health Resources of WOTCH, who have assumed some of the case management for the house.
Like permanent housing, Langarth offers unlimited stays as long as the client continues to meet the eligibility requirements. Unlike permanent housing, each apartment allows the client to be self-sufficient while still maintaining the ability to be part of a group.
