Permanent Supportive Housing
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is a long-term housing model designed to help individuals experiencing homelessness, particularly those with disabilities or chronic health issues. It combines affordable housing with supportive services tailored to residents' needs, such as healthcare, job training, and counseling. The goal is to provide a stable living environment that fosters independence and improves overall well-being. Residents typically have their own apartments but can access assistance and resources on-site or in the community, promoting a healthier, more secure life while reducing homelessness.
