Supportive housing is a proven solution that combines affordable housing with individualized services that help people with the most complex challenges live with stability, autonomy and dignity. It reduces homelessness and avoids the unnecessary institutionalization of people with disabilities.
MENTAL HEALTH
Supportive Housing increases housing
security, jobs, mental and physical wellbeing,
and school attendance; and decreases the use
of substances. People living in
affordable housing are living more secure
and productive lives.
COST EFFECTIVE
Supportive Housing costs 30% less than
keeping people homeless and stuck in the
revolving door of high-cost crisis care and
emergency housing.
BENEFICIAL
Supportive Housing helps create solid,
stable neighborhoods by improving
community security, enhancing new or
rehabilitated properties and increasing
or stabilizing property values over time.
Family
Supportive Housing can help families
stay together. Providing family with the
services they need to stay together, we can
protect children who might be at risk for abuse
and neglect.
