Bell Socialization Services Inc

C.h.i.p.p. (community hospitalization integration project program) - residential services is a partnership between four agencies: the york/adams mental health-intellectual and development disabilities program, wellspan behavioral health services, adams/hanover counseling services, and bell socialization services. This program provides residential services in an apartment complex for seriously mentally ill consumers who were previously long-term patients (2 + years) at pa's state hospital institutions. This program also provides temporary support (30-90 days) for one mentally ill consumer at a time who is recovering from a local psychiatric hospitalization. During the current fiscal year, this program served approximately 24 individuals.

All other assisted living programs provide, furnish, and maintain suitable living quarters, facilities and services for disadvantaged individuals and families, primarily those which are mentally and emotionally disabled. This program included the bell shelter and bridge housing. The bell shelter is a family shelter which provides living quarters for families for up to 30 days. Bridge housing is a rehabilitative housing program which allows a longer-term option (up to one year), providing more time for homeless families to hone basic living skills, getting them on track for a successful independent living. The bridge housing utilizes six apartment units in york city.
