SUPPORTIVE HOUSINGSupportive housing is an innovative and proven solution to some of communities’

who face the most complex challenges to live with stability, autonomy and dignity. Supportive housing improves housing stability, employment, mental and physical health, and school attendance, and it reduces active substance use. People in supportive housing live more stable and productive lives. Supportive housing costs essentially the same amount as keeping people homeless and stuck in the revolving door of high-cost crisis care and emergency housing.

Research has shown that supportive housing has positive effects on housing stability, employment, mental and physical health, and school attendance. People in supportive housing live more stable and productive lives.

A number of research studies have demonstrated the positive effect that supportive housing has on residential stability among formerly homeless individuals. Approximately

addition, many of those who leave supportive housing do so for positive reasons – often to enter more independent settings after they have stabilized. However, others leave for less positive reasons, and some research exists that may give practitioners clues as to why these people may not be as successful in supportive housing.

Supportive housing is designed primarily for people with serious mental illness, a substance use disorder or chronic medical problems. Compared with other very low-income people, these men and women disproportionately use shelters, emergency health care and public mental health services — often cycling rapidly through various public institutions at great cost to taxpayers. Cost studies in six different states and cities found that supportive housing results in tenants’ decreased use of homeless shelters, hospitals, emergency rooms, jails and prisons.

HOUSING FIRST At its foundation, the “Housing First” strategy operates under the philosophy that safe, affordable housing is a basic human right and a prerequisite for effective psychiatric and substance abuse treatment. Key components of the Housing First model include (1) a simple application process that does not require numerous site visits and

conditions of tenancy that exceed the normal conditions under which any leaseholder would be subject, including participation in treatment or other services. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of this model, particularly among people who have been homeless for long periods of time and have serious psychiatric disabilities, substance use disorders, and/or other disabilities.
