The Connecticut Supportive Housing Demonstration Program Evaluaiton Report
Description:
An objective evaluation of the Connecticut Supportive Housing Demonstration Program begun in 1992. The Program is the joint effort of the State of Connecticut and the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) to produce over 200 units of service-enriched permanent housing for homeless and at-risk populations. The evaluation is intended to determine if stable housing reduces the need for expensive health and social services over time, enhances the quality of life of the residents, and allows residents to pursue their employment and vocational needs. The evaluation also provides a financial analysis of the Program's cost and cost-effectiveness, as well as evaluating the financial stability of the projects participating in the Program. The aesthetic and economic impact of the sitting process and perspectives on the development phase are also included. Concludes that "supportive housing is a cost-effective use of Connecticut's resources to build healthy homes and communities for homeless and at-risk persons and families around the state."
