Mission: The mission of bayside housing & services is to provide safe, temporary supportive housing and services so people in need can secure permanent housing.
Programs: Bayside employs a unique partnership with the old alcohol plant to master lease hotel rooms that we then offer on an extended-stay basis to low-income individuals and couples facing homelessness. Bayside guests sign lodging agreements for up to 28 days at a time, and can renew as many times as needed at the discretion of bhs staff depending on a number of factors, including engagement level of the guest in finding a permanent housing solution. Units consist of a private bedroom/living space and bathroom, as well as in-unit mini-fridges and microwaves. Guests have access to shared amenities for meal preparation and storage, and a community room for projects and research. Priority is given to seniors, veterans, and underemployed or low-wage workers who need housing in order to retain employment. All applicants are screened carefully and receive a personal interview before acceptance. We offer personalized case management that includes assistance with filling out housing applications, scheduling and transportation for medical appointments, and navigating other social services that are related to independent living and securing long-term housing.
