Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH or “supportive housing”) is for people who need long-term housing assistance with supportive services in order to stay housed. Individuals and families living in supportive housing often have long histories of homelessness and face persistent obstacles to maintaining housing, such as serious mental illness, a substance use disorder, or a chronic medical problem. PSH programs allow people with one or more serious disabling conditions to stabilize their housing and receive treatment for their underlying conditions. The combination of housing and supportive services creates a synergy that allows tenants to progress toward recovery and independence.

To be eligible for PSH, an individual must be:
