Moving into supportive housing can feel like a lot at once. A few things that helped me: introduce yourself to your house coordinator early, label your food in the shared fridge, and don't be shy about joining the Sunday community dinner. We've all been the new person. You've got this.

Thank you for this, the Sunday dinner tip is so true. It made me feel at home in my first week at Birch Cottage.

Adding to this: keep a small notebook for your coordinator meetings. It helps you remember what you wanted to ask.
