Restoring Waters

Restoring Waters is a supportive housing facility, created with trauma-informed design in partnership with Project for Pride in Living, UrbanWorks, and Ryan Companies. Opened in April 2024, Restoring Waters has 60 units to house individuals and small families. These units are fully private, with their own kitchens and bathrooms, so residents can practice independent living skills, with the added security of on-site support.

Restoring Waters was created with the key tenets of trauma-informed design: dignity and independence for residents, safety and privacy, inviting spaces, and a sense of stability. This was done with the intention of creating a healing environment not just for residents, but for everyone who crosses through its doors.

Residents have on-site access to Case Managers and Peer Support Specialists, as well as other support staff who help them access resources, address challenges, and set personal growth and recovery goals. Also on site are a variety of programming spaces designed for activities that promote wellness and community, including a community kitchen, a children’s play room, an exercise room, a gardening center, an art annex, and a rooftop patio.
