Douglas Permanent Supported Housing

Program Provides

The program provides rental assistance funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) accompanied by a range of supportive services funded by other sources. 

GHFA PSH

The GHFA PSH Program is designed to serve a population that has been traditionally hard to reach – homeless persons with disabilities such as (but not limited to) serious mental illness, chronic substance abuse, and/or AIDS and related diseases. This program is built on the best practice that housing and services should be connected in order to ensure stability for this population.

Rental Assistance

Consequently, GHFA PSH provides rental assistance that local sub-grantees must match with supportive services appropriate to the target population. The goals of the GHFA PSH Program are to assist homeless individuals and their families to increase their housing stability, skills and/or income, and self-sufficiency.
