| Supportive
housing is a successful, cost-effective combination of affordable housing
that assures access to a wide array of supportive services for its tenants
in order to help them lead a more stable, productive life. Tenants of supportive
housing include men, women, youth, and families with children who are homeless
or at risk of homelessness.
In general, tenants of Supportive Housing qualify at the Extremely Low Income level (30% AMI). As a result, the financing of housing for these populations requires a significant level of subsidy and the use of multiple funding sources. Since supportive housing is critical in assuring long-term housing stability for people with special needs it has been structurally linked to Michigan’s Campaign to End Homelessness. Major objectives in the area of supportive housing include: the creation of effective financing strategies for the production of new supportive housing development; the creation of incentives or set-asides within newly developed and existing multifamily programs to provide affordable scattered site rental to supportive housing tenants; the development of a plan to maximize the amount of federal and private subsidy available for supportive housing development; establishment of effective models and assurances that all tenants in supportive housing have access to appropriate social services. |
