Permanent Supportive Housing
Supportive housing, or Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), is permanent and affordable housing, accompanied by intensive supportive services, such as case management and connection to substance use, mental health, and medical treatment. This type of intervention shows an increase in housing retention and service engagement, and it is less costly for communities because housed people are less likely than those experiencing homelessness to use emergency services, hospitals, jails, and emergency shelters.
The Roadmap Home proposes flexible ongoing funding for local jurisdictions to build supportive housing, among other solutions.
