Nursing Home Diversion

Federation of Organizations’ Nursing Home Diversion Supportive Housing Program offers supportive housing in Nassau and Suffolk Counties with enriched support services to individuals who qualify for nursing home level of care but wish to remain in the community. Our goal is to provide a safe living environment with medical coordination of care, social supports and daily living supports for individuals with disabilities who are transitioning out of nursing homes, currently homeless, or pending homelessness and can remain stable in the community without long term institutional care.

Federation has been providing housing for people with disabilities for over 20 years. Federation currently serves over 800 individuals in housing in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Bronx and Brooklyn.  We offer a variety of housing options with individualized support services designed to assist each resident with living in the community, successfully.

Permanent, safe, affordable housing with enriched supports are the core services offered in this program.
