Permanent Supportive Housing

• There is a critical need for affordable and permanent supportive housing for all Floridians, especially those living with serious mental illness.
• Florida ranks 4th in the lack of available supportive housing, behind Texas, California, and New York.
• A safe home is a prerequisite for recovery.

Lack of Supportive Housing Contributes to:

• Increased Hospital and Jail Costs
• Homelessness
• Overpopulation in Jails and Prisons
• Overutilization of Emergency Rooms and Hospitals

Affordable Supportive Housing Leads to:

• Recovery and Overcoming Symptoms of Mental Illness
• Employment and Volunteering
• Higher Quality of Life
• Ability to Contribute to the Community

FLMHAC supported the Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s 2023 Statewide Permanent Supportive Housing Workgroup as they developed a Plan for Supportive Housing. We would like to see the plan implemented.
