Applications can be submitted for opportunities to live in Bethesda Project's continuum of housing. Each site offers residents the opportunity to thrive in a community setting with a network of peers in recovery from homelessness, addiction, and/or mental illness. Residents are expected to participate in daily chores, community life, and case management.

Admissions criteria are listed below.

Applications must be submitted with a statement of Homeless Third Party Verification on referring agency letterhead. Click here for a template.

You will be contacted by Bethesda Project's Senior Case Manager if your housing application meets criteria for current vacant rooms or to be placed on a housing waiting list. For subsidized SROs, you will need to provide proof of income, PA photo ID, social security card, and birth certificate. Please prepare documents in advance to speed the process.
