The Permanent Supportive Housing Program (PSHP) is an initiative developed to provide permanent housing and supportive services to chronically homeless individuals and families with histories of homelessness to ensure housing stabilization, maximum levels of self-sufficiency and an overall better quality of life for this population.  The first phase of this program is to assess chronically homeless individuals and families with histories of homelessness who are living on the streets, in shelters and other institutions.  The second phase is the place individuals and families into long-term housing. The third phase is to provide effective case management to ensure that individuals and families are connected to needed support services and achieve the highest degree of stabilization and self-sufficiency possible.

The goal of the PSHP is to create the enabling conditions for program participants to achieve the following objectives: 1) obtain long-term housing; 2) maintain their housing by complying with any/all lease provisions and local laws; and, 3) achieve the highest level of self-sufficiency possible and improve the overall quality of their lives. The primary objective of the case management services is to assist PSHP participants with achieving the aforementioned objectives. This will be achieved through connecting program participants to supportive services that address their barriers to maintaining their housing and achieving an optimum level of self-sufficiency.
