Purpose
In November 2008, Coalition Homes and Corporation for Supportive Housing brought together 70 leaders involved in supportive housing for a Forum discussing strengthening the integration of property management and supportive services.
Those attending included program directors, funders, asset managers, property managers, and housing specialists. Many worked with the homeless in Montgomery County, Maryland, but several nearby jurisdictions were also represented. Participants left the Forum with a keener sense that the two disciplines had much to learn about each other, and that the topic of a blended approach was worthy of further exploration.
This Best Practices Manual is inspired and informed by presentations and discussions at that conference, and also by a survey of several dozen leaders performed before the forum.
CSH publishes on-line toolkits, informational materials, manuals, and sample documents to help practitioners in supportive housing, and regularly updates those tools in part by working with local governments and organizations around the country. This Best Practices Manual represents an important addition to the resources that CSH has helped to make available to the supportive housing industry.
While Coalition Homes is associated with a longstanding service provider, the Forum was its first public event and symbolizes its growth into the role of a mission-driven, small development and property management company. (Authors)
