Supportive Housing:

Local Lead Agency for Housing

Supportive housing is a program to link clients to safe and affordable community-based housing. Eligible clients also have the opportunity for additional support and guidance to advocate for tenant rights while living in their home. 

The Basic Principles of Supportive Housing Include:

• Support services are offered to promote independent living and help consumers find, get, and keep housing.
• Support services are client-driven, individually tailored, flexible and are primarily provided in vivo, e.g. in the consumer’s home.
• Ongoing, regular communication must occur between service provides, property managers, and tenants to ensure that tenants remain successfully housed by resolving any difficulties and preventing eviction.
