Our housing model

A structured bridge to permanent housing.

Five phases over a target program period of about 9 to 15 months. Each phase has its own expectations, supports, and written criteria for moving to the next one.

Opening in 2027

Maya House is preparing to launch its first housing-stability program in Worcester County in 2027. Referral and partnership inquiries are welcome, but submission does not guarantee admission, housing availability, or a specific start date.

Target program period
9–15 months

Approximately 9 to 15 months, with up to 24 months when individual circumstances or housing-market conditions require additional time.

What each phase asks and gives

Support structure

Housing with the support built in

Maya House provides structured, time-limited housing, individualized planning, accountability, housing navigation, financial-capability support, and coordination with qualified community providers.

Maya House's planned service model includes scheduled resident support, apartment-based contact, flexible evening and weekend support, coordinated community services, and management on-call coverage for urgent housing and program matters.

Maya House is not an emergency shelter, inpatient treatment program, or clinical residential program.

Our model draws on established transitional-housing, trauma-informed, and person-centered practices.

House expectations

Curfew, chores, house meetings, and an individualized plan. Expectation is a form of belief.

Help someone finish the sentence.

Give, volunteer, refer a resident, or bring your organization into the referral network. Every route ends the same way: someone keeps their housing.
