IDD Residential Services
Person-centered residential homes with 24/7 staffing, focused on independence, life-skills development, and meaningful community integration.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Faith-based care for every stage of life’s journey.
Antiochian Human Services provides comprehensive, faith-based residential and care solutions — specialized housing and support for seniors, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and men seeking shelter, stability, and spiritual renewal.
Our services
Support that meets people where they are.
Our work spans residential support, older-adult care, transitional housing, spiritual community, and professional consulting — each grounded in respect for the whole person.
Autism Support
Structured behavioral support, sensory-friendly environments, and individualized daily-living programs designed around each person.
Senior & Assisted Living
Dignified housing with medication management, daily-living assistance, and social programming — from independent residential communities through hospice support.
Home Care
Compassionate assistance that brings comfort, dignity, and practical support to patients and their families at home.
Transitional Center
Bridge housing, short-term stabilization, and case management for men moving from homelessness or correctional facilities toward independent living.
Long-Term Shelter & Outreach
Safe, supportive long-term housing that creates stability for vulnerable men. This is not an emergency or overnight shelter.
Religious Housing & Monastic Discernment
Dedicated spiritual housing and retreat environments for men exploring a monastic vocation and a life of service through Church ministry.
Consulting Services
Licensing and compliance readiness, staff training and retention, and interim program leadership for IDD, behavioral health, senior living, and hospice organizations.
St. Mark’s Center
A bridge from homelessness to independence.
Our Harrisburg men’s outreach home offers long-term housing, guidance, and structure for homeless and displaced men. Current capacity is six residents, with expansion planned as support grows.
Residents receive living space, meals, and a permanent address they can use when seeking employment and social services. The Center’s supervised environment helps each man work toward lasting self-reliance.

Meet with us
An interview helps us understand your needs, explain expectations, and identify the right resources.
Residents must be ready to make changes toward independent living, share relevant criminal, mental-health, or substance-use history honestly, and agree to community house rules. This history is used to connect people with the right support and is not, by itself, an impediment to acceptance.
Important eligibility note: St. Mark’s Center cannot accept registered sex offenders.

A welcome from Archbishop Mark
St. Mark’s Center is a long-term outreach center bridging the gap between homelessness and independence. Residents are encouraged to grow spiritually through monthly spiritual reading, live within the Center’s community rules, and leave with the practical tools needed for self-sufficiency.
Here, men can work toward employment, address mental or emotional challenges, and deepen their spiritual lives — as long as they want to help themselves.
