Southern Tier Environments for Living, Inc.

A private non-profit with a simple belief.

We believe people with mental illness can live satisfying, productive, independent lives. Since 1980, STEL has made that possible across Western New York.

We are committed to supporting people through times of need, empowering them to remain safely housed, live in stable environments, and avoid hospitalization whenever possible.

Southern Tier Environments for Living, Inc. provides residential and rehabilitative services to people in our community experiencing mental illness. Our housing continuum extends from community residences with 24-hour staff to supported apartments, single-room-occupancy homes, affordable housing, an adult home, care management, employment services, and a volunteer friendship program.
