What small-home supported housing means
A small-home model means a handful of residents in a real house, not a 30-bed facility — staffed, structured, and licensed by the state for residential care. Small enough that staff know every resident by name, permanent rather than a program with an end date.
Why Mai Heaven is built differently
Small and permanent
Not transitional. A door that closes behind you, with the same staff and routines over time.
Rights published first
Resident rights are online before we hold a single license — read them and hold us to them.
Built for the hard cases
A history of refusals or a complex profile is a reason we want the referral, not a reason we bounce it.
Who we are being built for
- Adults with disabilities or behavioral-health needs who need daily support, not 24-hour nursing
- People leaving a hospital, psychiatric unit, or treatment with no safe place to go
- Veterans, and young people ageing out of foster care
- People described as difficult to place or refused elsewhere
Refer someone, or get the day we open
We hold no operating license in North Carolina yet and cannot place someone today. This page is so you know what we accept, and so you are first to hear. For an immediate need, the crisis and placement numbers are on our resources page.
