Mainstay Community Services

Housing Model

A disciplined, housing-only design that funders can understand in minutes.

Model summary

  • Acquire duplex/triplex/fourplex near VA + core services
  • Light rehab for safety and accessibility
  • Operate as bed-based transitional housing
  • Track outcomes: beds created, stability, referrals

Compliance posture

Mainstay provides housing only. We do not provide medical care, therapy, rehabilitation, or clinical programs. Outside services are coordinated through VA/community partners.

This protects the organization from licensing traps and keeps launch speed high.

What “bed-based” means

Capacity

Each property is measured in beds created—easy for funders and partners to evaluate.

Stability

Clear house standards, safety rules, and a 90-day stabilization plan structure.

Scale

Repeatable acquisition + rehab playbook means the model expands without chaos.
