Working with Vulnerable Tenants with Psychiatric Disabilities

Abe Schuchman, Executive Director and CEO of Housing Unlimited, joins the podcast to discuss the need for quality, affordable housing for individuals with psychiatric disabilities who are in recovery.
Housing Unlimited is committed to community integration and independence for these renters by providing renovated scattered-site homes that offer independent living for individuals in mental health recovery.
Abe also shares why clear, respectful, and consistent communication is essential in landlord-tenant relationships—and why keeping those interactions focused on traditional housing matters makes a meaningful impact. Residents feel more empowered when communication is handled thoughtfully and when they have access to off-site support.
Further, he highlights the value of proactively building relationships with local mental health crisis-support providers. If a tenant experiences a crisis, government agencies and other stakeholders may be available to help. Many communities now offer mobile response teams that provide humane, expert outreach—making it essential to understand the resources available in your area.
