Supportive Housing
The Out Wayne County Homeless Services Coalition has identified the need for permanent supportive housing as being of primary importance in meeting the housing needs of low-income households, particularly those in need of supports to maintain stability. The Coalition is committed to developing 100 units of new housing in Out-Wayne County.
Supportive housing is permanent, independent, affordable housing for families or individuals that meet any of the following criteria:
- Are low to moderate income.
- Have identified special needs.
- Are homeless or in danger of losing housing.
Supportive housing seeks to mix members of each of these groups to create housing environments reflective of the greater community and in response to the needs of a broad base of community residents.
Supportive housing looks and functions exactly the same way as any kind of permanent housing for anyone, except that tenants have access to supportive services as one of the benefits of living there. Supportive housing units are self-contained rental units with private bathrooms and cooking facilities. Housing units can be newly constructed or renovated existing structures and will be designed to compliment the existing community.
