Bliley Manor

Bliley Manor is a model supportive housing facility that provides low-income persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with affordable, accessible housing and support services, allowing them to achieve maximum levels of independence.

Support services are available to empower tenants to become more independent and healthy by accessing community resources for basic human needs, re-learning certain skills, and participating in education activities, or gaining employment. Bliley Manor is designed to accommodate eight tenants and one resident manager. Tenants are referred from agencies serving the TBI population in Richmond and pay 30% of their income with a minimum of $50 per month. The remaining rent is subsidized by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Section 811 Program. Bliley Manor is supported in part by state general funds administered by the Department of Rehabilitative Services.
