Isaiah Homes
“To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good; whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.”– Vincent Van Gogh
About Us
Since we opened our first care home, we have provided a wide variety of special needs populations with affordable and specialized housing. Demographics served include but are not limited to: disabled, veterans, seniors, sober living, transitional housing, re-entry, low income, and other special needs populations. Our properties and services are of the highest caliber in our state and local area due to our commitment to safe, affordable all- inclusive living environments.
The Problem
In Missouri, approximately 25% of the single adult homeless population lives with a severe and persistent mental illness like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or depression. A study done by the Missouri Association for Social Welfare stated, “94% of homeless persons who are severely mentally ill are capable of living in the community with appropriate, supportive housing.” Those who are mentally ill and homeless have a right to lead fulfilling, independent lives, but they require support beyond what emergency shelters and conventional transitional housing services are able to provide.

Our Values
Person-Centered
Isaiah Homes Corporation assures services are directed by individual and family choices and service planning is collaborative, with a focus is on individuals taking personal responsibility for their services with the mental health professional sharing knowledge and resources in a supportive manner.
Individualized Support
Isaiah Homes Corporation assures services offered are individualized to meet unique needs, versus providing services in predefined service packages.
Strengths-Based
Individuals and families and their mental health professionals will adopt the belief that people can recover from a mental illness by building upon individual strengths. Services will focus on identifying each person’s strengths and resources and building upon these to meet the goals that the individual or family has identified.
High-Quality
Services provided are evidence-based practices that have been empirically validated or reflect best practices in the field. Service providers continually evaluate efficacy, quality assurance and satisfaction.
Community
Isaiah Homes Corporation values working with other government, businesses, and community organizations to realize goals and adopt inclusive decision whenever possible.
Holistic
An individual’s mental health services are only a single component of their well-being. Thus, Isaiah Homes Corporation places a strong emphasis on identifying and addressing other needs in conjunction with their mental illness.
Family
There will be recognition of the supportive role family and other significant individuals play in a person’s life and efforts made to include these individuals in service planning whenever possible.
Accessibility
Services will be readily accessible by assuring that service sites are geographically accessible; that languages other than English will not be a barrier; and that there will be “no wrong door” in that individuals may access services through multiple avenues.
Culturally Responsive
Services that are culturally competent are provided by individuals who have the skills to recognize and respect the behavior, ideas, attitudes, values, beliefs, customs, language, rituals, ceremonies and practices characteristic of a particular group of people.
Collaboration
Services are not provided in isolation of other human service providers but rather in collaboration to assure the individual or family’s needs are met in the most effective manner possible. Other providers may include a primary care physician, social services providers, employment specialists, and any other human service provider that is involved in the client’s care.
