For individuals and families who face life’s most difficult challenges, supportive housing is a proven solution that helps provide a renewed sense of security, autonomy and dignity. By combining affordable housing with critical services, this tool improves housing stability, employment, mental and physical health, school attendance and reduces active substance use. Not only does supportive housing improve quality of life for the most vulnerable populations, but it also leads to positive community outcomes at greater cost effectiveness.
With mounting evidence demonstrating this success, more and more communities and sectors are looking to make investments in supportive housing projects. The key to making these investments work is building effective partnerships between all of the players involved – real estate developers, property management firms, and service providers. Join HAND on April 16 for “Creating Strong Partnerships for Supportive Housing Developments | Developers, Service Providers & Property Managers.” This exciting program will break down the language barriers between partners, provide the key ingredients for quality supportive housing, and explore local and national innovations in the development of supportive housing.
