Info for Non-Profits
Cloud Nine Studios is intended for women who need a safe place to live while recovering from serious trauma. However, determining how to best allocate this resource, i.e., specifically, choosing who should live here and under what conditions, is beyond our ability. For this, we plan to rely on non-profit organizations that provide services to women recovering from trauma, as they have the expertise and information required to make sure these homes do the most good for the most people. If you work with such an organization, please contact us to discuss the possibility of placing residents here.
Resident Placement Criteria
We only seek to enforce the most general criteria in order to follow our mission and ensure the safety of all residents. To that end, organizations should look for potential residents who are:
- Women over the age of 18 who wish to live alone.
- Participating in some form of trauma recovery therapy.
- Free of active substance abuse problems or psychiatric diagnoses that would endanger other residents.
- Receiving regular status/wellness checks and substance abuse testing.
Other than that, we leave the selection criteria and conditions of stay up to the organizations.
If you would like to share information about Cloud Nine Studios with a potential resident, please direct them to cloud9sd.com, as that site has information tailored for them.
Rent Subsidies
A major long-term goal is to be able to provide services to anyone based on need alone, regardless of their ability to pay. We are actively seeking an endowment or long-term sponsorship to be able to provide partial or full rent subsidies for residents to provide access to all who need it.
