Learn more about Supportive Housing. Supportive housing gets the toughest to house folks off the streets, into housing and surrounded with services. And, amazingly, it saves tax dollars in the process! (Turns out it is less expensive to house folks and provide them with services that encourage independent living than to leave them on the street.)
