2026 Goals
Shalom House is a leader in providing a wide array of support services and affordable housing options for people living with severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Shalom House provides a flexible continuum of care that meets people at their level of need and helps them to maintain their highest level of independence.
Shalom House assists people in moving away from dependence on the mental health system and toward community-based services and natural supports. Our overall goal is to help people with mental illness break through the barriers that make it difficult to recover from their illnesses. We accomplish this by:
• Providing the tools and support necessary for our clients to meet their needs so that they may focus on their recovery.
• Providing high quality, affordable, and stable housing coupled with quality mental health services.
• Amplify the voices of the mentally ill in the state of Maine so that policy makers’ choices are based on information rather than stereotypes.
