How Dignity Village and IHCS Are Building Hope, One Home at a Time

Date

10.10.25

On October 10, 2025, the world will come together to recognize World Homeless Day—a global reminder that everyone deserves a safe place to call home. At Integrated Healthcare System (IHCS), this day is more than awareness—it’s a celebration of real progress and proof that change is possible when a community unites around compassion that’s why we have our own Dignity Village.

This year, as we reflect on the journey from concept to impact, we celebrate the success of Dignity Village, IHCS’s newest permanent supportive housing community, which opened its doors earlier this year. What began as a vision to provide safety and stability for Palm Beach County’s unhoused residents has now grown into a thriving space of recovery, renewal, and hope.

From Homelessness to Healing

Before Dignity Village, many of its residents lived in shelters, on the streets, or in unsafe environments. Today, they have keys to their own doors—and access to comprehensive care that helps them rebuild their lives.

Each resident receives wraparound support, including:

Primary and behavioral healthcare through IHCS’s integrated care model
Substance use recovery support and peer mentorship
Case management for employment, benefits, and social reintegration
Wellness programs that nurture both mind and body

It isn’t just housing—it’s healthcare in action. It shows that when people have stability, they can finally focus on their health, goals, and future.

A Ripple Effect in the Community of Dignity Village

Since the Grand Opening, IHCS has seen measurable outcomes that reflect the power of community-driven solutions:

97% of residents remain in stable housing after one year
93% continue recovery from substance use disorders
Countless individuals have reconnected with family, employment, and purposeThese aren’t just numbers—they’re lives reclaimed through compassion and coordinated care.

And it is just the beginning. IHCS continues to expand its housing programs, such as Bella House and Phoenix Place, ensuring that no one in Palm Beach County faces homelessness alone.
