Supportive housing refers to a type of residential setting that provides support services and assistance to individuals who are experiencing homelessness, have disabilities or other special needs. The goal is to help these individuals maintain their independence while living in a stable and safe environment. Supportive housing typically includes on-site staff members who provide case management, counseling, and other forms of assistance as needed. It may also include access to services such as job training, mental health care, and substance abuse treatment. The main objective is to help individuals achieve self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life.
