Site Summary: As a result of deinstitutionalization, Fellowship House was founded in 1973 through a Community Support Program grant awarded to the Mental Health association of Dade county. Patterned after the clubhouse model, it soon became independently incorporated and was designated as a demonstration project for the state of Florida by the National Institute of Mental Health. In more the than 25 years since its inception, Fellowship House has expanded to include vocational, social, employment, case management, outpatient services, and residential programs serving approximately 600 members (recipients of service) annually. Fellowship House is widely recognized as a model for psychosocial rehabilitation. It has exceeded mandatory compliance and has been recognized for its strengths and exemplary conformance to standards by the Rehabilitation Accreditation Commission. It is currently accredited in Behavioral Health for Psychosocial Rehabilitation programs in the areas of Case Management, Community-Based Rehabilitation, Community Housing, Outpatient Treatment, Day Treatment and Community Employment services.
