Wellspring

Welcome

Founded in Kentucky through the initiative and commitment of Louisville-based community members, Wellspring began offering one residential program and rehabilitative services in 1982 to assist adults with mental illness avoid homelessness, reduce hospitalization, and have a life of hope in the community.

Wellspring's services are based on the belief that persons with a psychiatric disability should have the same opportunities for rehabilitation as do persons with a physical disability. In addition, Wellspring helps such persons have safe, decent housing as a base from which to participate in rehabilitation and treatment services.

Wellspring was one of the first community-based housing and residential programs of its kind in the state and has shown steady growth in housing options and services since its inception. In 1983, Wellspring established affiliation with what is now Seven Counties Services, Inc. and in 1989 became a member of the Metro United Way. Through creative and cost effective matching of public and private resources, Wellspring operates 19 housing sites including a crisis stabilization unit, group homes for transitional and supported living, apartments and single-family homes.
