2025 Update
Every nonprofit has a story to tell – ASH’s story is about hope, community, and a future where adults with long-term, severe mental illness have a safe place to call home.
This year, ASH is honored to welcome Elizabeth Young to our board. As a family member of several loved ones living with mental illness, Elizabeth brings a deeply personal perspective and a passionate commitment to creating a world where individuals with severe mental illness have safe housing and supportive communities. She, like so many families, worries about what will happen to her loved ones when there is no one left to care for them.
At ASH, we believe that housing is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Right now, affordable, safe, and welcoming homes for adults with severe mental illness simply do not exist at the scale they’re needed. That’s why ASH is here—to create spaces where people can not only survive but thrive, surrounded by friendship, dignity, and care.
This North Texas Giving Day, you can help us turn this vision into a reality.
Who We Are
ASH (Affordable Supported Housing) is a group of family and community members committed to addressing the housing crisis for individuals living with mental health conditions. Our Supportive Community Model focuses on more than just housing—it’s about creating connection, friendship, and a sense of belonging.
For adults with severe mental illness, finding a safe and supportive home can be nearly impossible. Too often, they experience isolation, loneliness, and disconnection from their communities. The global pandemic made this crisis even worse. The need for supportive housing is urgent, and together we can change that.
Join Us
