What are the different types of supportive housing?
Permanent Supportive Housing programs typically fit into one of three models: 1 Scatter-Site Model- Program participants are placed in apartment units scattered throughout a community, or ‘scattered’ within a large apartment building. 2 Clustered Scatter-Site Model- Two or more smaller apartment buildings of 2-8 units each. 3 Single-Site, Mixed-Use Building- This model provides multiple units in one building, enabling program participants to occupy a portion of apartment units within a building of generally non-subsidized housing units.
Can residents have visitors?
Residents may have visitors as they wish. Freedom to furnish or decorate their apartment unit, to the extent that the lease allows. Residents have a choice in roommate selection, if required to share an apartment unit. Some appropriate program staff members may have a set of keys.
Can addiction cause homelessness?
Persons living with addiction can experience unstable housing or homelessness. The stress of being homeless or at risk of homelessness can make the situation worse, lending itself to increased drug seeking behaviors and the use of alcohol and/or drugs.
