Healthcare Services at Permanent Supportive Housing sites
We provide care at Permanent Supportive Housing sites. We work with the on‑site services in each building. Our goal is to help people stay healthy, feel better, and keep their housing by connecting them to ongoing medical care.Health Services in PSH
