Definition for Supportive Housing

Supportive Housing - Supportive Housing

Supportive housing combines rental housing with individualized health, support and employment services.  People living in supportive housing have their own apartments, enter into rental agreements and pay their own rent, just as in other rental housing.  The difference is that they can access, at their option, support services – such as the help of a case manager, help in building independent living skills, and connections to community treatment and employment services – designed to address their individual needs.
