The Kean

What is The Kean?

Short-term (30–60 day) health respite beds for unhoused adults that are the first step out of homelessness. The Kean provides immediate support, including help with urgent health issues, behavioral health support, and treatment for substance use. Once stabilized, case managers help take the next steps—whether that’s connecting to longer-term treatment, community living, or supportive housing.
