Not automatically. We have no blanket bans. We consider convictions only, within a set lookback period, and look at each person individually.

Yes. Guests are welcome from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., up to 2 guests per resident at a time, and you stay with your guest during the visit.

Yes, and we encourage it. Call or email to schedule a visit. For residents' privacy, we share the street address when your visit is confirmed.
A note from our founder
I started Keep On Living Housing because I believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home, and the freedom to live it their own way. Too many adults who are ready to live independently get stuck between options: a program that is ending, a hospital stay, a fixed income, or rent that is simply out of reach.
At Keep On Living, you will find a clean, comfortable home, clear and fair rules, and respect from the moment you walk in. You run your own life. We make sure the home is safe, well cared for, and a place where housemates look out for one another.
Whether you are a future resident, a family member, or a case manager, I would love to hear from you. Call, ask questions, and come see the home for yourself.
