This housing consists of three- and four-bedroom scattered site neighborhood homes, one and two-bedroom apartment units and several 24 hour supervised group homes. With the exception of the group homes, persons living in the properties have their own private bedroom and share the common areas of the house or apartment with others. Each resident pays 30% of their adjusted gross income for rent and utility costs. Each person is responsible for keeping their own room orderly and all residents are responsible for keeping the common areas orderly.

In order to qualify for scattered site homes and apartments, an individual must have a chronic mental illness and be capable of living independently in the community with the appropriate support services. Also, NAMI Delaware must verify that the applicant’s income is in the “very low” category and a criminal background check is made. Two of the apartment buildings are dedicated for occupancy by persons who are homeless and also are mentally ill.

For those living in scattered site homes and apartments, NAMI Delaware maintains the physical structure. We are not a clinical services provider. There are several organizations in the state that provide these services to support those needing case management and clinical services.
