Awards & Recognition

Coleman Residential Services has been serving the Portage Community Community since 1982.  Our years of experience have helped us change and grow to become a state and nationally recognized leader in behavioral health residential services.

HUD residential model as Best Practice
Coleman Professional Services has been acknowledged at the State level by the Department of Development and the Department of Mental Health. The organization has been awarded for Coleman Residential Services on the National level by the Department of Housing and Urban Development as being a leader in the field in housing development and operations for persons with mental illness. Coleman is one of the four organizations in the nation to be chosen by HUD to be the subject of research in Best Practices for provisions of service to rural homeless populations. Coleman’s applications for new project and renewals of projects have consistently been met with success of the past 10 years and have resulted in six projects being funded. These projects include independent housing as well as service enriched housing for persons with substance abuse and mental illness. The success has also been a result of positive collaborations with other county organizations. Coleman has received funding for the past 10 years form the Ohio Department of Development to support residential staff positions.
