An increasing number of communities are creating supportive housing for a range of populations and in response to the Olmstead Decision are exploring new housing models that promote unit integration. Integrating supportive housing into your community is a blending of supportive housing within developments that targeted that may also include affordable and market rate units not restricted exclusively to supportive housing populations.
CSH Illinois created the “Supportive Housing – Integrated Models Matrix” to help educate the development community on several approaches to developing and operating integrated housing that includes supportive housing. Supportive housing can be integrated in a variety of ways, examples including units within a single-site development, dispersed in an apartment or condominium building, or scattered-site apartments across a community.
