Supervised Apartment Program
"I could not have accomplished all that I have without Phoenix. I want to travel. I want to meet new people and get to know about other places. I can't imagine my life without Phoenix. I would still be using, still drinking, still partying, still with the same bad crowd and I would not be in school. I would be on the street."
- Phoenix House resident
Leading Youth Toward Greater Independence
The Supervised Apartment Program (SAP) is a long-term residential program consisting of three separate homes. SAP provides nine clients with an independent, yet supervised, living environment. Established in 1992, this program was developed to provide safe, supportive housing for young people who recognize the need to develop independent living skills. In each of the three apartments, live-in staff oversee the day-to-day activities of residents while developing personal relationships with the youth. Staff are also available to help with budgeting, household activities and to provide support. This community setting offers a great opportunity for youth to learn and practice the skills needed for greater independence.
The average age of residents of the SAP is 19. The average length of stay is 10 months.
