Supportive housing is an approach used to combat chronic homelessness in more than 200 cities nationwide. Also known as “Housing First,” supportive housing combines housing with social and mental health services on the same site.

Is supportive housing a practical way to end the chronic homelessness problem that has plagued America for a generation?

Joining us for this discussion is Philip Mangano, Executive Director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, the federal official most associated with “Housing First,” and Anne Foley, Senior Policy Advisor for the State of Connecticut, whose Supportive Housing Pilots Initiative was honored with the 2006 Fannie Mae Foundation Innovations in American Government Award in Affordable Housing.
