Supportive Community Residential Services (SCRS) provide a continuum of residential services with behavioral health supports of varying intensity that help adults with serious mental illness or co-occurring substance use disorders live successfully in the community.

Individuals live in a variety of settings (apartments, condominiums and houses) located throughout Fairfax County. The level of staff support varies, in terms of frequency of staff contact and degree of involvement, and are provided based on individual need. Services can be provided in the individual's home, other community settings or local CSB behavioral health centers.

Individuals admitted to SCRS typically have had multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, periods of homelessness, justice system involvement and interruptions in income and Medicaid benefits.

The programs offer counseling, case management, psychiatric services, nursing, employment and life-skills instruction to help individuals manage as independently as possible their primary care, mental health, personal affairs, relationships, employment and responsibilities as good neighbors and tenants.

CSB also collaborates with local service providers to offer long-term or permanent housing with support services to individuals with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders, including those who are homeless and need housing with supports.
