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-DE 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. Admittance to a supervised group home requires the approval of the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health and the Service Provider who manages the home. These homes are intended for residents who do not currently have the ability or skills to live more independently at the present time but who do not require the care provided in a hospital.
