What types of supportive services programs are feasible to offer within Public Housing?
Many Housing Authorities offer a Congregate Housing Services Program, (CHSP). These programs provide an economical and practical approach to serving elderly residents basic daily living needs. Additionally, some PHA’s offer a variety of health related services that are made possible through partnerships within the local communities. In some cases, PHAs are receiving HUD Resident Opportunities for Self Sufficiency (ROSS) Grants which can include some limited funding to assist with certain health related needs as a means of pursuing self-sufficiency.
