Safety Specialists

Join us as we continue Changing Lives at Line Drive Apartments, Reno's newest high-impact community designed to break the cycle of homelessness. Our 50-unit residential apartment building isn't just housing - it's a launchpad for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). As a program of Accessible Space, Inc. (ASI), Line Drive is a purpose-built sanctuary for those who have served our country and those overcoming physical challenges. Our community is home to both veterans who have experienced homelessness and adults living with physical or cognitive disabilities. Residents transition here after receiving initial care and stabilization at the CARES campus, living in a space that balances independence with 24/7 supportive resources.
