Abstract
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Rapid rehousing can provide safe, stable housing for vulnerable homeless populations such as those experiencing substance abuse disorder, mental illness, and chronic homelessness (Aubry et al., 2020). We evaluated and analyzed research articles on supportive housing interventions and upward mobility. Literature was collected from online scholarly databases. Evidence supports Rapid Rehousing and PSH interventions in improving targeted outcomes such as mental health, substance abuse use, cost-effectiveness, housing stability, and quality of life (Aubry et al., 2020; (Miler et al., 2021). Further, the literature supports that PSH and Rapid Rehousing are cost-effective models when considering cost offsets from increasing housing stability (Cunningham & Bakto, 2018; Aubry et al., 2020). Rapid rehousing and PSH can provide short-term and long-term housing provision and stability (García & Kim, 2020). These interventions help those experiencing homelessness to gain upward mobility and housing stability. Also, individuals spend less time experiencing homelessness, and less money is spent to help them become stably housed (Cunningham & Bakto, 2018). Policymakers should consider further implementing and providing resources to continue PSH and Rapid Rehousing services.
