Services Program (CSSP) is a supportive housing program for homeless persons
with disabilities. Three apartment

housing units. Consumers must be assessed to be homeless persons with
disabilities. They are charged 30% of
their adjusted gross monthly income for rent. A social worker oversees the program. He provides outreach, case management, and
other supportive services which would enable the consumers to be more
self-reliant and participative members of thier community.
