Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) needs a different model—one that truly serves those in need. While PSH is designed to provide stable housing for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness, the current approach often falls short. Many communities struggle with ineffective implementation, lack of accountability, and models that do not prioritize long-term recovery and independence.
We believe in a better way. A different PSH model should focus on holistic support, including:
- Stronger case management: Ensuring residents receive individualized care, mental health resources, and job training opportunities.
- Community integration: Encouraging engagement with local services and fostering a sense of belonging.
- Accountability and outcomes: Tracking progress to ensure PSH programs lead to stability and self-sufficiency.
- Flexible solutions: Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work and adapting models to meet diverse needs.
Without change, too many individuals will remain trapped in cycles of homelessness, despite being placed in housing. We must advocate for a model that empowers people, promotes dignity, and creates real opportunities for transformation.
Join us in calling for a better PSH model. Together, we can push for policies that truly support those in need and build stronger, healthier communities for all.
