Family-Centered Supportive Housing
Family-centered supportive housing is one solution to family homelessness. Like all supportive housing, family-centered supportive housing is, first and foremost, housing. It provides affordable rental housing to end the family’s untenable living situation: emergency shelters, streets, doubling up with friends.
