Housing Case Management

Helping people stay on track and maintain housing

Permanent Supportive Housing

"Permanent Supportive Housing is an intervention that combines affordable housing assistance with voluntary support services to address the needs of chronically homeless people. The services are designed to build independent living and tenancy skills, and connect people with community-based health care, treatment, and employment services.” -National Alliance to End Homelessness

People who qualify for Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) have faced many challenges. To qualify for PSH assistance, an individual or household must have experienced 12 consecutive months of homelessness or 3 episodes of homelessness in the past four years that total 12 months, and at least one household member must live with a disabling condition as verified by a medical professional. These individuals and households require additional assistance to ensure they maintain housing.

Case Management

PSH Case Management gives these households access to a case manager who can assist them with life’s challenges. Whether it’s navigating the relationship with their landlord, locating special services such as mental or physical healthcare, or just having someone to lean on, PSH participants have a trained professional in their corner.

PSH Housing Case Managers meet regularly with program participants to help them adjust to housing, talk about the participant’s personal goals, make referrals as necessary for services to help the participant reach these goals, and address any issues that may arise. 

Currently, the DRC provides housing case management to 37 households through a partnership with the City of Fort Worth Directions Home program and to 125 households through a Continuum of Care grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 37 households through the City of Fort Worth Finance Corporation Tax Credit program, and 24 households at the Palm Tree Apartments.

Results

In 2023, the DRC provided Housing Case Management to 225 households through PSH programs.
