Abstract

Providers of health services have an important role to play in creating supportive housing, where an affordable place to live is paired with appropriate services for a targeted population. Housing is an issue of health equity, and the need for supportive housing in the United States is great. Wesley Family Services demonstrated how a behavioral health nonprofit can succeed as a first-time affordable housing developer when it built the Pioneer Apartments in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. Health service providers should consider whether they can further meet the needs of their client base by creating new supportive housing.
