Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) blends affordable housing with individualized support services to help people and families experiencing homelessness. The goal is to make sure highly vulnerable individuals and families have the stability of a home while ensuring access to life-changing resources such as mental health care, substance use treatment, and employment support. Opportunity Council’s PSH programs, like 22 North and Dorothy Place, exemplify this approach, offering not just a place to stay, but a community where residents have the freedom and support everyone needs to thrive.
