Residential Services
Live Forward receives housing funding primarily through Continuum of Care housing programs or Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program.
Permanent Supportive Housing
The Supportive Housing Program is a Federal Grant Program authorized by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987. It is designed, as part of the Continuum of Care strategy, to promote the development of housing and supportive services to assist homeless persons in the transition from streets and shelters to permanent housing and maximum self-sufficiency. Live Forward operates two permanent supportive housing programs:
- Shelter Plus Care
- Permanent Supportive Housing
