Shelter Plus Care
Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Shelter Plus Care program provides rental assistance for hard-to-serve homeless persons with disabilities in connection with supportive services funded from sources outside the program. It bridges the gap between disabled homeless persons and independent living by providing housing and supportive services on a long-term basis.
Shelter Plus Care is a program designed to provide housing and supportive services on a long-term basis for homeless persons with disabilities and their families who are living in places not intended for human habitation (i.e., the streets) or in emergency shelters. The program allows for a variety of housing choices, and a range of supportive services funded by other sources, in response to the needs of the hard-to-reach homeless population with disabilities.
The Columbia Housing Authority (CHA) administers 42 Shelter Plus Care Vouchers that provide rental assistance for homeless persons with disabilities (and their families) who need affordable housing and support to live as independently as possible.
