Referral and Intake Process:

 
Referrals must be made through Monroe County Single Point of Access (SPOA) to begin the application process.

Referrals are typically made by a treatment professional including psychiatrists, therapists, or social workers from a hospital-based inpatient mental health facility or outpatient program but families and potential residents can also begin the referral process. Families and clients are encouraged to be active participants in making this important decision. Both are encouraged to learn more about DePaul’s services, program expectations, and sites to see how each best match the interests of the client prior to a formal referral.

DePaul may be recommended by a community service provider, however the client needs to make the commitment to entering and engaging in the program. It’s therefore vital that the client visit the program and meet with staff members and other clients so they may make an informed decision.

If you or someone you know who would benefit from placement and have further questions about our services, please contact Yvonne Adams, Intake Director, at yadams@depaul.org.

Program Cost:

 
Halstead Square is a Congregate Care Level II (CCII) Facility and rent is based on the CCII rates for that year. Rent is paid by the individual’s benefits or wages. Families who assume financial responsibility for their relative receiving services pay the Congregate Care Level II Rate.

The program does not provide emergency housing. In order to determine eligibility for Emergency Housing Placement, please apply for Emergency Assistance at the Department of Human Services (DHS) at 691 St. Paul Street Rochester, NY 14605 and complete an application.
