About Mason Place
Mason Place is a 60-apartment Permanent Supportive Housing community that opened in midtown Fort Collins in January 2021. Based on the principle that stable housing better equips people to overcome some of the root causes of homelessness, the community blends affordable housing with individualized support services for people with disabilities and veterans who have been experiencing homelessness. The built environment combines beautiful design, livability, and sustainability with trauma-informed design features that offer residents a sense of safety, comfort, privacy, and security.
The supportive housing model has proven to be the most effective way to solve homelessness in cities throughout the country. This is not a homeless shelter. Services are only provided to people who are residents of the building. The building is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Resident Selection and Screening
Mason Place only accepts resident referrals from select service providers. All residents must have a disability and be experiencing homelessness. Resident screening includes a criminal background check and an intake interview. For more information on homeless service providers, contact Homeward Alliance at 970-494-9940.
Services for Residents
Case managers will be available for each resident. The goal is to provide residents with the skills and strategies necessary to achieve long-term stability. Case management services range from basic (using the bus system, proper personal hygiene, or cooking) to complex (accessing treatment for mental health issues, applying for a job, or obtaining healthcare benefits). In addition to case management, support services include mental health services, substance abuse treatment, employment services and coordination of healthcare and other needed care.
