| This SCL Voucher Program is funded by the Department of Mental Health to give their clients, who do not require a great deal of support, the opportunity to live in the community. Presently, there are about 200 active clients and landlords on the program.
There are five program constants. These apply to everyone ALL of the time.
- The client must have a case manager.
- The client must be approved and referred by the DMH-supported Community Living Intake Coordinator, Tony Moore.
- The client must apply for Section 8 housing.
- The client must apply for Social Security or SSI.
- When a Section 8 space becomes available, the client will come off the program.

Once the referral is received from the DMH Supported Community Living Intake Coordinator, Tony Moore, the Program Manager sets up an appointment with you to come into the office with your case manager.
