Supportive housing is a successful, cost-effective combination of affordable housing with services that helps people live more stable, productive lives.  Supportive Housing is permanent housing – people who live in supportive housing sign leases and pay rent, just like their neighbors.  Further, supportive housing is a proven, cost-effective way to end homelessness for people who face the most complex challenges.  By providing chronically homeless people with a way out of expensive emergency public services and back into their own homes and communities, supportive housing not only improves the lives of its residents but also generates significant public savings.
