United Services 

receives near 

perfect score 

on state review

DAYVILLE – United Services, Inc. recently scored 137 out of a possible total 140 on a Permanent Supportive Housing Quality Review of United Services conducted by the State of Connecticut. The high score elicited praise from the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS).

“It is because of service providers like United Services that the people we serve through supportive housing programs can experience satisfaction with community integration, satisfaction with family involvement, decreased isolation, and sense of choice and empowerment,” said DMHAS Commissioner Patricia A. Rehmer in a letter delivered to United Services President and CEO Diane L. Manning.

The Connecticut Supportive Housing Quality Assurance Program is operated by the Corporation for Supportive Housing, DMHAS and the Center for Urban Community Services. The quality review team evaluates providers on facilitated access to housing, housing quality, tenant rights, and support services, among other areas.

United Services offers supportive housing for adults with psychiatric disabilities at four locations in Willimantic and one location in Putnam. The agency also provides a supportive housing program for young adults with locations in Storrs and Willimantic.

Manning said, “United Services is proud both of our high score and the acclaim from DMHAS. The credit belongs to our support staff, program managers and directors, and administration who work every day to provide comprehensive mental and behavioral health care to northeastern Connecticut residents.”
