Supportive Housing
Supportive housing is a combination of housing and services intended as a cost-effective way to help people live more stable, productive lives. Supportive housing works well for those who face the most complex challenges-individuals and families confronted with homelessness and who also have very low incomes and/or serious, persistent issues that may include substance abuse or alcoholism, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, or other serous challenges to a successful life. Supportive Housing can be coupled with such social services as job training, life skills training, alcohol and drug abuse programs and case management to populations in need of assistance.
