A halfway home is a post-recovery home that provides shelter to recovered persons with mental disabilities who are abandoned, neglected and homeless and found living or staying on the streets. This facility caters to the mentally disabled individuals who no longer require the complete facilities of a hospital or institution but are not yet prepared to return to independent living.
