Supportive Housing
Healing Starts at Home
We used an asset-based approach to community development, focusing on identifying and building upon a person’s strengths rather than focusing on their weaknesses. By instilling a sense of self-worth and promoting holistic wellness, TRC’s ultimate goal is to restore lives.

Our programs are designed with the knowledge that all the challenges faced by our residents are connected and must be addressed comprehensively for an individual to succeed. All residents of Renaissance Apartments participate in wraparound supportive services from on-site case managers who specialize in the areas of Life Skills, Health & Wellness, and Employment & Education.
Although residents are able to stay as long as needed, services are intended to increase a resident’s income and independence so they can successfully re-enter the community.
