Permanent Supportive Housing: Building Stability, Transforming Lives
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) offers more than a place to live—the program provides a foundation for hope, healing, and transformation. We believe everyone deserves a safe, stable home and the opportunity to thrive.
There are a variety of housing options, including studios and one-bedroom apartments in duplexes, triplexes, small complexes, and larger project-based locations. Unique among Spokane’s supportive housing programs, we offer scattered-site housing options in small, community-integrated settings—outside of downtown—where not all neighbors are formerly homeless. This innovative model fosters inclusivity, promotes dignity, and helps challenge the stigma surrounding homelessness.
A Community of Support
At the heart of our program is partnership—working hand-in-hand with seven local landlords who provide over 13 units through master leasing agreements. This collaboration allows us to create housing opportunities in diverse neighborhoods across the city. These homes are leased to Community-Based Housing and then subleased to our participants. Together, we prioritize being good neighbors and build strong relationships with our communities to ensure trust, accountability, and mutual respect.
Our participants don’t just live in their neighborhoods—they actively engage in them. From joining neighborhood councils to participating in subcommittees and local churches, residents contribute to the fabric of their communities, proving that permanent supportive housing isn’t just about homes—it’s about belonging.
Whole-Person Care for Lasting Stability
Many of our residents face significant barriers to housing, including chronic health conditions, disabilities, and past traumas. That’s why our program goes beyond providing housing to deliver wraparound services designed to address every aspect of their well-being:
- Onsite Healthcare: A registered nurse visits residents in their homes, building trust and providing critical education and support for managing chronic conditions.
- Behavioral Health Services: Embedded counseling, peer support, and mentoring help participants overcome challenges and build resilience.
- 24/7 Case Management: With a Housing First model, we prioritize trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and Critical Time Intervention to ensure success.
Empowering Growth and Independence
Our program equips residents with the tools they need to regain stability and independence:
- Healthcare Navigation: Assistance with accessing primary care, mental health services, dental care, and more.
- Employment Services: Support for job searches, resume writing, certification programs, and job readiness.
- Educational Opportunities: Help applying for college, grants, and community or parenting classes.
- Benefits Assistance: Guidance on SSI/SSDI applications and securing entitlements.
These homes provide a revolutionary approach to eradicating homelessness, addressing the root causes while offering long-term stability. Residents can stay as long as they need while building the skills, confidence, and support systems to lead independent lives.
