Total Supportive Housing Need by State

This first of its kind national needs assessment of supportive housing was developed by looking at data across a spectrum of public systems. Supportive housing is a subset of the much larger affordable and private housing markets, and represents a small but critical portion of housing and services needs nationally.

This report presents the total number of supportive housing units needed to meet the current need. CSH estimates that approximately 1.1 million individuals and families in the United States have needs consistent with supportive housing.
