Leadership Message
Local Focus, Local Solutions
This report highlights exciting initiatives in several states, counties and communities across the national landscape. Our resolve is clear: CSH will advance solutions that use housing as a platform for services to improve lives, maximize public resources and build healthy communities, producing measurable results no matter the challenges.
America faces a housing shortage for many reasons – experts agree decades of federal resource retrenchment is one – but CSH is focused on solutions and sees opportunities where others see obstacles. 2017 saw us redouble our efforts to work closely with states and communities to fill gaps with new local initiatives, innovations and investments to create supportive housing.
Our local outreach and engagement are working. Communities across the country are partnering with CSH to embrace initiatives that preserve our families and protect our children. They are welcoming innovation in the form of Pay for Success financing and contracts to create more affordable and supportive housing. And they are recognizing the benefits of pairing the housing and healthcare sectors.
Bolstering all of these efforts are the thousands of people who get a brand new life because of supportive housing. Their stories of resiliency and recovery are what made 2017 a true success.

CEOKeeping Families Together in New Jersey & California
Through our CSH One Roof initiative, our supportive housing and child welfare experts are helping families find permanent and affordable housing, and access to services to keep them together and safely housed.
Following though on earlier assistance provided by CSH, the State of New Jersey in October 2017 announced 215 new housing assistance vouchers and funding to establish supportive housing programs for child welfare involved families confronting homelessness or inadequate housing in twelve counties.
In California, CSH spearheaded the creation of the Bringing Families Home Program, which allocated funding in May 2017 to local counties creating supportive housing specifically for families involved with child welfare agencies because of their housing instability and challenges related to it.

Family Success Stories
CSH Commits to ‘What Works’ in Missouri, California, Colorado and Massachusetts
CSH structures Pay for Success to help build supportive housing with funding from philanthropic and other sources. Taxpayers pay only for projects that work!
In 2017, CSH selected four counties for a CNCS-funded Pay for Success initiative aimed at helping those leaving incarceration successfully reenter communities, thereby reducing recidivism and improving public safety. One of the Counties, Boone County, Missouri, is receiving our assistance to integrate data to better match individuals with supportive housing that could be financed through Pay for Success partnerships. Along these same lines, CSH actively engaged local leaders and partners like the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and UnitedHealthcare in a groundbreaking Pay for Success supportive housing initiative in California known as Just In Reach.
Other CSH Pay for Success milestones were in Denver, Colorado, where our impact investment experts are helping coordinate the City’s innovation, and in Massachusetts, where our direct investment in Pay for Success financed supportive housing is paying real dividends – in social progress as well as financial returns.
Strengthening Housing-Healthcare Partnerships in Illinois, Oregon,
Colorado, Minnesota, District of Columbia and North Carolina
Throughout 2017, CSH remained committed to advancing and strengthening partnerships where healthcare and supportive housing providers share common goals: improving health outcomes and lowering costs. CSH partnered with local providers and governments in Illinois to expand the reach of Better Health Through Housing in Chicago. Our focus on healthcare systems investing in housing has garnered national attention and support.
In 2017, CSH approved New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) to finance health centers serving high-health need clients and supportive housing residents. We invested $15M in the Eastside Campus Project in Portland and another $12M was approved for the Denver Housing Authority for a new mixed-use building containing a community health center and a kidney dialysis clinic. CSH provided $12.4M for a Minneapolis service hub focusing on the health needs of very low income and homeless individuals, and also $5.1M for a behavioral health center in Washington, DC.

New Voices Speak Up! in Illinois
Many people face a brighter future because of the permanent, affordable homes and person-centered services found in supportive housing. Nothing underscores this more than our CSH SpeakUp! advocates, supportive housing champions with lived experience who know first-hand the trauma of sleeping under a bridge or in an institution where care is scarce and recovery to a better life is just a dream. Their lives, their stories, prove supportive housing turns dreams into reality.
When it began in California, CSH SpeakUp! unleashed a local movement that changed public dialogue around supportive housing. Appearing at neighborhood centers, city council chambers, statehouses and even on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, our CSH SpeakUp! advocates moved hearts, minds and policies to embrace supportive housing.
In 2017, CSH took this successful program to the national stage and expanded SpeakUp! into Illinois, and created the foundations in other states to grow our lived-experience advocacy.

Our Resources Move Community Projects Forward
The CSH Supportive Housing Loan Fund, which provides low-interest, flexible loans to developers, received a $30 million infusion in 2017, two-thirds of which came from CSH, Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, Kresge Foundation, and the Weingart Foundation. This doubled the amount of startup funding available to nonprofits that build supportive housing for homeless and other low-income people.
In 2017, CSH deployed over $63 million through our traditional loan products to construct over 2500 homes in 16 states. In addition to supportive housing, CSH invested $55 million of New Markets Tax Credits that directly supported the construction of healthcare facilities ensuring better access to care and healthier communities.
