Notes
- “Housing First” means radically different things to different people. As a result, the researched, evidence-based variant is called Pathway’s Housing First.
- Pathway’s Housing First includes several components… that must all be incorporated into the program.
- Program philosophy and practice values emphasizing consumer choice;
- Community based, mobile support services; and
- Permanent scatter-site housing (multiple clients are not housed in one apartment complex or shelter).
- A major barrier to Pathway’s Housing First includes a lack of affordable housing.
