PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING SERVICES: LESSONS LEARNED AND PROMISING PRACTICES Location: Hyatt Regency, Borein AB Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) is emerging as a widely-accepted model for ending homelessness. While the concept of providing housing coupled to the services that individuals need to remain stably housed is not startling, implementation of PSH is quite challenging. This workshop will focus on strategies for putting effective services in place, and the impact of PSH on individuals, families, and communities. Introductory Level.
