Influence on social determinants of health:

Supportive housing offers specialized resources and improves the housing quality, safety, and stability of individuals and families who have complex needs.

These sites can play an important role in improving the health of residents through building design elements, programs, and policies.

New/rehabbed supportive housing buildings can also serve as catalysts for other economic development.
