Housing Supportive Services
Overview of Housing Services at Sondercove Wellness
At Sondercove Wellness, we view housing as more than just a basic need—it’s a foundation for recovery, safety, and dignity. Our services are uniquely grounded in peer support values and rooted in the understanding that housing instability is often tied to systemic barriers and compounded life stressors. We work to walk alongside individuals as they explore, secure, and maintain safe, stable, and affirming housing.
How Services Are Typically Provided
Housing services are delivered in-person, in the community, virtually, or at a location that feels safe and accessible to the individual. Our team of providers includes those with both lived experience and professional expertise in housing systems, making our support deeply empathetic and actionable.
Whether someone is unhoused, couch surfing, recently housed, or facing housing-related stressors, we tailor our services to meet their unique goals—without judgment and always with respect for their autonomy.

Specialized Staff Expertise
Our housing team includes professionals with diverse and specialized expertise:
Dominique Christian, founder of Sondercove Wellness, brings over five years of experience in the housing sector and remains deeply engaged in local housing networks to support peers with complex housing needs.
Our providers have extensive knowledge of local and regional housing programs, as well as how trauma, criminal records, substance use history, and system involvement impact housing access.
We also support individuals in navigating the emotional toll that housing instability can cause. This includes helping peers process experiences of displacement, grief, and systemic harm while building new definitions of safety and home.
Housing as a Pathway to Wellness
We believe that everyone deserves safe and stable housing, regardless of their past or present circumstances. Our approach weaves together practical housing navigation with emotional support and advocacy. By combining these elements, we offer a holistic experience that recognizes the full humanity of each person we serve.
