The program provides rental assistance funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) accompanied by a range of supportive services funded by other sources.

Consequently, GHFA PSH provides rental assistance that local sub-grantees must match with supportive services appropriate to the target population.

The GHFA PSH Program is designed to serve a population that has been traditionally hard to reach – homeless persons with disabilities such as (but not limited to) serious mental illness, chronic substance abuse, and/or AIDS and related diseases.
