Supportive Housing is independent living. While low-income tenants usually pay a subsidized rate for the roof over their heads, they are encouraged to receive case management and support services such as physical and mental health, substance use management, recovery support, job training, literacy and education, youth and children’s programs, and money management as needed until they display life-skills and personal behaviors necessary for responsible, self-sustainable citizenship. Various studies have found that Supportive Housing makes participants feel more independent, have greater feelings of well-being and a better outlook for the future thus leading to better housing retention rates.
