The GHFA Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
provides permanent housing in connection with supportive services to persons who have a disability and are experiencing homelessness. The
program provides rental assistance funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) accompanied by a range of supportive
services funded by other sources. GHFA PSH is designed to serve a population that has been traditionally hard to reach and built on the best
practice that housing and services should be connected in order to ensure stability for this population. Consequently, the program provides
rental assistance that local sub-grantees must match with supportive services appropriate to the target population. The goal of the program is
to assist homeless individuals and their families to increase their housing stability, skills and/or income, and self-sufficiency. Funding for GHFA PSH projects is awarded competitively through HUD’s annual Continuum of Care process.
