Provides housing to 16 formerly homeless individuals including those who have been frequent users of the emergency medical and corrections systems with permanent supportive housing and case management, in a apartment complex in Germantown. 

In addition to providing CHIPP participants with a permanent home and supportive services, data has been collected from a wide variety of public systems of care for two years before, as well as the year following, the participants’ entrance into the project.  This information is being analyzed to determine the cost savings to the entire public system of care network resulting from the stability permanent supportive housing offers to individuals with multiple needs.  These program participants will be able to remain in housing and receive intensive supportive services after the project’s study portion is complete. 

Services include:  

• Intensive on-site case management
• Subsidized housing
• Fully furnished apartments
• Life skills training
• Assistance in acquiring a primary health care provider and accessing mental health and drug treatment services
• Assistance in obtaining benefits and entitlements
• Linkages to appropriate services available in the community including food, clothing, workforce development opportunities, psychiatric rehabilitation day programs

CHIPP, founded in 2008, is able to provide housing through condominiums owned and managed by MCCH’s affiliate Coalition Homes.
