Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) provides long-term housing voucher and intensive case management to individuals and families who are chronically homeless and continue to be at imminent risk of becoming homeless. PSH has three sub-programs that provide housing services: Tenant-Based: Voucher is issued to the tenant and tenant can select a unit anywhere within the District of Columbia Project-Based: Voucher is attached to unit and not to the tenant Local Veterans: For chronically homeless individuals with other than honorable/dishonorable discharge from US military who are not eligible for Veteran Health Administration (VHA) services. The program operates like the Tenant-Based PSH Program. DC has had a locally funded PSH program for 20+ years.
