The mission of the Supportive Housing Communities (SHC) is to alleviate homelessness and human suffering. To carry out its mission, SHC uses a permanent supportive housing (PSH) model, which links permanent, affordable rental housing with access to flexible, voluntary supportive services, including intensive case management, mental health counseling, substance use disorder counseling and supported employment services to help the chronically homeless maintain stable housing and live independently in the community.
