Current Needs Assessment Data
CSH has updated our initial numbers by looking at data across a spectrum of public systems to determine the current national need for 1.125 million supportive housing units. This overall assessment is a compilation of Point in Time or census counts of people involved in multiple public systems exhibiting challenges and needs consistent with supportive housing. Our current supportive housing assessment is a snapshot, a picture as it appears today. Our newest interactive map allows users to explore the national as well local need for supportive housing in each state and across systems. The corresponding reports go deeper into the sources and thinking behind the data. You can see all of the data by clicking here. |

Speak Up! Painting a Picture for LA
A new mural in Los Angeles just off of the 10 Freeway at Arlington Avenue is beautifully spreading the word about supportive housing. The mural was created by the local group 72U with help from some CSH SpeakUp! Advocates. Reading her poetry at the unveiling of the mural and featured in several news clips about it is Suzette Shaw, CSH SpeakUp! Advocate. Like the stories shared by our SpeakUp! Advocates, the new mural is creating a personal connection through art between the community at large and those thriving in supportive housing. As the mural itself proclaims, 90% of those who go into supportive housing in the Los Angeles region stay in housing and off the streets. |

New from HRSA
Resources that support the work of community health centers come from many partners across the country, including CSH staff. HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) charged the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) with establishing a National Resource Center (NRC) and creating an online repository to meet the information needs of professionals for the purpose of building stronger and healthier communities. The recent launch of the Health Center Resource Clearinghouse helps fulfill those missions. The Health Center Resource Clearinghouse offers valuable insights and materials, and addresses the demands placed on a busy public health workforce by conveniently providing tools to acquire and use targeted information, some of which is produced by CSH. |
