About the CSH and the CSH Summit

CSH (Corporation for Supportive Housing) advances affordable and accessible housing aligned with services by advocating for effective policies and funding, equitably investing in communities, and strengthening the supportive housing field. Since our founding in 1991, CSH has been the only national nonprofit intermediary focused solely on increasing the availability of supportive housing. Over the course of our work, we have created more than 467,600 units of affordable and supportive housing and distributed over $1.5 billion in loans and grants. Our workforce is central to accomplishing this work. We employ approximately 170 people across 30 states and U.S. Territories. As an intermediary, we do not directly develop or operate housing but center our approach on collaboration with a wide range of people, partners, and sectors.   

 Since 2015, the CSH Supportive Housing Summit has brought together tenants, people with lived experiences of homelessness, service providers, developers, property managers, and funders for a vibrant gathering that explores innovations in the supportive housing field. Each year, the Summit generates fresh ideas that propel supportive housing forward, fostering collaboration and transformative impact.

We are thrilled to return to Chicago in 2025, the city where it all began. The conference will be held in-person at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk, providing a unique opportunity for more than 1,000 attendees from diverse sectors and backgrounds to engage with current challenges, explore new solutions, and shape the future of supportive housing.

 

Proposal Submission and Minimum Qualifications

Please submit a proposal of no more than 3 pages to summit@csh.org by October 7, 2024.

Proposals should include:

• Budget summary and narrative
• Narrative highlighting the expertise that the firm/individual would bring to this role
• Examples of past experiences providing similar expertise

Special consideration will be given to proposals that demonstrate experience working with non-profits, are minority and/or woman owned, and include people with lived experience of homelessness and/or supportive housing in leadership positions. CSH may ask for references during the selection process. CSH expects to award a contract between $15,000-$30,000.

Please note that CSH requires subcontractors, including individuals and sole proprietors, to carry workers’ compensation insurance while performing work under a CSH subcontract. CSH subcontractors cannot have existing, pending or expired debarments that preclude them from doing businesses with the United States government and cannot have convictions for, nor have any pending indictments for, fraud or a criminal offense in connections with a public contract or subcontract.

Last month, CSH celebrated National Health Center Week raising awareness of America’s 1,400 Community Health Centers (CHCs) and their role in providing healthcare to supportive housing tenants. We recognize the dedication and passion of CHC staff, board members, and supporters who provide quality, comprehensive healthcare services to more than 31.5 million patients across nearly 15,000 communities annually. 

CHCs serve more than 1.3 million patients experiencing homelessness each year, a vast majority of whom seek care from HCH grantee organizations. People who experience homelessness endure higher rates of chronic and acute disease, behavioral health conditions, and other health disparities that make them vulnerable to poor health, disability, and premature death. 

CSH offers training and technical assistance to federally qualified health centers and organizations collaborating on health and housing initiatives. Our focus areas include health and housing partnerships, social determinants of health, HUD homeless and housing programs, and supportive housing development. Through training, webinars, publications, and direct assistance, we support those serving individuals facing housing instability and homelessness.

It emphasizes the importance of a multi-faceted approach, including prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery services.

 

Latest CSH HRSA Webinar Recordings

 

CSH is a proud partner of the Open Access Fellowship program. The Open Access Fellowship was launched in 2021 by advocates in the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) industry to increase diverse representation in community development finance. Participating fellows engage in virtual training sessions and are placed at community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and tax credit financing agencies for mentoring and career growth opportunities. This summer, CSH was ecstatic to host Bria Francisco as an Open Access summer Fellow! 

Learn more about Bria and her time with CSH through an interview with Bria and her CSH fellowship supervisor, Karuna Mehta, CSH Senior Community Investment Officer, NY Market Lead. 

 

Q: Bria, can you share more about your background and what about community development interests you? 

Bria: I graduated from Cornell University and have 10 years of experience in affordable housing development. I’m also a military brat, my mom was in the Army, and I moved to a new community every three years. I became aware at a very young age the monumental effort that my mother placed in moving to the best school districts to provide my sister and I the best education possible. My mother’s career eliminated financial barriers to housing but my mother’s long commutes led to my initial interest in urban planning and community development. I was curious to learn more about the policies that led to the suburban sprawl and the disparity in educational outcomes between school districts. 

 

Q: Why did you choose to participate in the Open Access Fellowship program?  

Bria: The Open Access Fellowship offered the opportunity to expand my underwriting skills and gain firsthand experience with New Markets Tax Credits. I have worked primarily in the affordable housing field for nonprofits, housing authorities, and local municipalities. Many of the projects that I have worked on benefit from additional investments paired with affordable housing. I viewed Open Access as an opportunity to expand my education on all the tools that can be applied to successfully advance community development outcomes. 

Q: Can you share insights about your fellowship placement at CSH? What projects were you a part of? 

Bria: I had the opportunity to work with the New York Community Investment Team with Karuna Mehta as my mentor. I worked with Emily Dorfman and presented a NMTC deal to the CSH Board of Directors for approval. I also supported the RACE Initiative under the guidance of Alexis Butler. 

 

Q: What aspects of your fellowship placement did you enjoy the most? 

Bria: The opportunity to underwrite active projects, present to the CSH credit committee and work directly with prospective borrowers who were applying for loans. Working directly on active projects was a fantastic way to learn the balance between advancing supportive housing goals and assessing development obstacles. Joining CSH has been a challenge with balancing my other professional responsibilities, but I have also found a renewed energy during my fellowship this summer. Joining this team and working with teams that are passionate about their work has expanded my perspective of the roles that exist in supportive housing and community development. 

 

 

 

Q: Why should other professionals who are interested in community development finance consider participating in the Open Access Fellowship Program? 

Bria: Open Access offered a wide range of resources and trainings. Pairing Open Access’ resources with a placement at a successful CDFI, offers professionals the opportunity to immediately implement what they have learned and dive deeper into all of the possibilities that the fellowship offers. 

 

Q: Is there anything else you would like to share? 

Bria: I would like to thank CSH for this opportunity. (Before joining CSH) I didn’t fully understand the nuances between supportive housing and affordable housing, I’m excited to take the various tools that I learned here into my next role. 

 

Q&A with Karuna Mehta, Senior Community Investment Officer, NY Market Lead

 

Q: What motivated CSH to participate in the Open Access Fellowship program? 

Karuna: There’s a strong mission alignment between the Open Access Fellowship and CSH. We recognize the value of diversifying the community development industry, and the Open Access Fellowship is a great opportunity for CSH to build strong relationships and bolster up and coming leaders. 

 

Q: What excites you about the Open Access Fellowship program? 

Karuna: While we’re providing a pathway for the Fellows to learn more about community development finance, we learn so much from their perspective and curiosity. They’re inquisitive, and bring their unique professional and personal backgrounds, they push us to think outside of the box. I’ve been so inspired by Bria’s energy, and the excitement she brought during her time at CSH. 

 

Q: What resources or insights were you able to share with Bria as her fellowship supervisor? 

Karuna: Bria was very interested in learning more about how we underwrite organizations and projects. In addition to underwriting, Bria jumped right into some difficult lending opportunities, where we needed to find unique ways to balance the risk of lending with our mission of supporting strong service providers as they develop real estate projects. Bria also learned about the affordable housing development process, new market tax credits, and how to structure technical assistance and training to support new developers. I really hope Bria will be able to use these tools to support developers and partners she works with in the future. 

 

Q: Why should other CDFI’s consider participating as a Host in the Open Access Fellowship program? 

Karuna: Every CDFI and bank has a responsibility to help diversify the community development field. So much of our work is focused on supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) communities through lending and investment. However, BIPOC are commonly underrepresented in our board rooms and offices. This fellowship is a unique opportunity for interested BIPOC professionals to meaningfully connect with community development leaders and learn through hands-on experience and training. 

 

Q: Anything else you would like to share? 

Karuna: CSH is excited to participate in the Open Access Fellowship program again next year! The Open Access Program has done a great job of curating training and host organizations. It’s inspiring to see how they’re creating pathways like the Open Access Fellowship and changing the industry. 

Please join us in congratulating Bria on the significant impact she has made at CSH this summer!

CSH and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs are now seeking applications for the Georgia Supportive Housing Institute. The 2024 Institute, funded by DCA, is a signature CSH initiative that offers an interactive series that builds the capacity of development teams and equips them with knowledge to develop new supportive housing projects. The Institute brings together housing developers/owners, homeless service and healthcare providers, property managers and other sponsors to learn and navigate the process of developing housing with supportive services and more efficiently seek and obtain funding for projects by improving the planning, development, and initial project implementation. The Institute will focus on building the capacity of both new and experienced supportive housing teams to serve high-needs populations. Each team leaves the Institute with an individualized, detailed plan for the project’s design, operations and potential funding sources.   

 

 

Applicants to the Institute may apply as a Team or as an Individual. Those applying as an established Team will be expected to submit a project concept and work towards a specific development proposal during the Institute. Individual Entities (i.e.: service providers, developers, or other parties) that are not quite ready to work toward a specific development, or who have not yet organized a partnership by the time of application, may apply as an Individual Entity and will be matched to a conceptual team in order to benefit from team-based learning and networking.

 

Informational Webinar on the Request for Applications (RFA) and the Application

We held two informational webinars on August 8 and August 19. These sessions provided more information on the Institute and team/individual eligibility criteria. 

 

Applications are due September 10, 2024 by 5:00pm ET. Submit an electronic copy of the application and the attachments in PDF form to CSH by email to:
GA-SHInstitute@csh.org

 

 

CSH and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) announced today the Georgia Supportive Housing Institute. The partnership between DCA and CSH will allow communities and stakeholders to build capacity and knowledge to create housing for residents with supportive service needs.

Georgia is the first state in the Southeast to implement the Supportive Housing Institute, a signature CSH program designed to kick start supportive housing projects. It joins 15 other states that have used the Institute to advance supportive housing in their communities. Supportive housing combines affordable housing with quality services that help people with additional needs to live with stability, autonomy, and dignity.

Applications opened early August 2024 for interested groups to take part in a five-month training series to deepen their expertise on the process of developing and operating supportive housing. The application will be open to affordable housing developers, property managers, service providers, and other interested stakeholders.

Institute sessions will start in Fall 2024 with a curriculum that provides a 360-degree view of supportive housing. Topics include, among others, integrating services into a property, resident-centered programming and developing sustainable capital and operating budgets.

Hosting the Georgia Supportive Housing Institute is a clear response to community feedback, identifying the need for the Department of Community Affairs to play a role in strengthening the state network of well-trained supportive housing partnerships.

“The Supportive Housing Institute will allow Georgia’s housing development ecosystem to strengthen its muscle by bolstering housing for residents with supportive service needs,” Phillip Gilman, Deputy Commissioner for Housing Assistance and Development at the Department of Community Affairs, said. “Staying apprised of the latest information and best practices helps DCA and our stakeholders further our commitment to building strong communities with several fair and affordable housing options.”

The application process for the Georgia Supportive Housing Institute is competitive. Interested parties may apply as individuals or as a team. Teams must be cross-functional and may consist of a combination of affordable housing developers, property managers, service providers, and/or other community leaders.

CSH and the Georgia DCA hosted two information sessions for prospective applicants. 

Teams selected to participate in the Institute will be expected to work toward a specific development proposal that contributes to the supportive housing pipeline in Georgia. Teams may be eligible for a special funding opportunity in 2025 as well as a quality supportive housing endorsement from Corporation for Supportive Housing.

There will be a limited number of slots for individual attendees. Solo participants will gain valuable networking connections during the Institute’s runtime but will not receive the added benefits of joining as a team.

For a detailed view of what to expect, who should attend, and how you can benefit from the Georgia Supportive Housing Institute, learn more here. More information about application deadlines for the Georgia Supportive Housing Institute will be released in the coming weeks.

For Immediate Release

May 7, 2024 | New York – The Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health (CISWH) at the Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) and CSH (Corporation for Supportive Housing) are leading a new national initiative to implement, adapt, and evaluate housing interventions for three priority populations of people with HIV. Through a four-year cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) HIV/AIDS Bureau, CISWH in partnership with JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. and University of Massachusetts Lowell, serve as the Evaluation Provider, while CSH in partnership with Collaborative Solutions serve as the Implementation and Technical Assistance Provider to 10 Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program sites. The project will address the intersectionality among housing status, identification with one of the three priority populations, and HIV-related health outcomes. The project is funded through HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Program.

“We know people with HIV experiencing homelessness and housing instability continue to disproportionately face challenges in accessing care and achieving improved health outcomes,” said Allyson Baughman, PhD, MPH, and principal investigator at BUSSW. “This innovative initiative represents opportunities to integrate HIV care and behavioral health with housing interventions to improve health outcomes among priority populations of people with HIV.”

In 2018, approximately 9.5 percent of people with HIV in the U.S. experienced homelessness compared to less than one percent of all Americans. Housing is a social determinant of health that has a substantial impact on HIV prevention and care outcomes. The experiences of homelessness and housing instability are associated with lower rates of retention in care, adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART), and sustained viral suppression. The Supporting Replication (SURE) of Housing Interventions in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program — also known as the SURE Housing Initiative — seeks to strengthen the evidence base for housing interventions and psychosocial services for the following three priority populations of people with HIV, who often have the highest HIV-related disparities:

1) People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ+).

2) Youth and young adults (aged 18-24 years).

3) People who have been involved with the legal system (defined as any person who is engaged at any point along the continuum of the criminal justice system as a defendant including arrest, incarceration, and community supervision).

The SURE Housing Initiative aligns with goal three in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy: 2022–2025 which is “Reduce HIV-related disparities and health inequities” and specifically “3.4.6 Develop new and scale up effective, evidence-based or evidence-informed interventions that address intersecting factors of HIV, homelessness or housing instability, mental health and violence, substance use, and gender especially among cis- and transgender women and gay and bisexual men.”

“In addition to living with HIV, people from sexual and gender minority populations, young adults, and people involved with the legal system face significant barriers to obtaining housing like social isolation, stigma, and lack of access to quality care,” said Massah Massaquoi, MPH, senior program manager at CSH. “We are honored to provide technical assistance, training, and coaching opportunities to the funded sites, drawing upon our expertise deeply rooted in evidenced-based and equitable approaches. Our commitment is to guide and support these sites, facilitating connections between affordable housing and HIV care services with a foundation grounded in equity and quality that help people thrive.”

Through the SURE Housing Initiative, funded organizations will replicate the evidence-based rapid re-housing intervention in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program to decrease health and housing disparities. This intervention was developed to help people quickly exit homelessness and return to stable, permanent housing. By addressing housing and behavioral health needs and supporting clients with their HIV care, the initiative seeks to improve health outcomes along the HIV care continuum, including linkage, engagement, and retention in care, as well as viral suppression.  

The SURE Housing Initiative funds the following 10 organizations across the U.S.:

• AIDS Foundation Chicago, Chicago, Ill.
• AIDS Services of Dallas, Dallas, Texas
• Big Bend Cares, Tallahassee, Fla.
• Care Resource Community Health Centers, Miami, Fla.
• DAP Health, Palm Springs, Ca.
• Doorways, St. Louis, Mo.
• Eastern Oregon Center for Independent Living, Ontario, Ore.
• Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), New York, N.Y.
• Orange County Government and Zebra Youth, Orlando, Fla.
• The Open Door, Pittsburgh, Pa.
