Permanent Supportive Housing
I. Overview
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an intervention that combines affordable housing
assistance with support services to address the needs of chronically homeless people. The
services are designed to build independent living skills while connecting those served with
community-based services tailored to individualized needs. The Department of Behavioral
Health (DBH) provides a portion of the overall costs of the PSH program as match funds for
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) grants,
to help DBH clients access these services.
II. Background
Family Villa and Falcon Court provides PSH for families and individuals that meet the HUD
definition of homelessness with at least one adult family member having a mental health
and/or substance use disorder (SUD). HUD's CoC grant supports several PSH or similar
programs in the region. In an effort to support individuals who may be receiving or have
received services from DBH to live as independently as possible, DBH is offering limited
funding for programs who provide housing through HUDs CoC grant.
III. Contract Start Date/Term
See Section "Term" of Agreement
IV. Target Population
Individuals and their families that meet the HUD definition of homelessness and who have a
mental health and/or SUD need. Participants must be engaged in a DBH treatment program or
have been part of a DBH treatment program. All participants will be referred by Fresno Madera
Continuum Care Coordinated Entry System process, to ensure that eligibility criteria are met.

Clark Ave Fresno, CA 93726.
VI. Description of Services
Turning Point will provide PSH services to individuals receiving, or who have received, mental
health and/or substance use disorder treatment services from DBH. DBH retains the first right of
refusal for twenty-four (24) housing units provided through this agreement. The parties
understand that there is no guarantee that any or all of the 24 housing units will be occupied by

Services will be individualized, and client driven. The services included above should be made
available to individuals as needed.
To help ensure that individuals receiving services have the opportunity to be transitioned to
independent living situations Turning Point will develop transition plans that allow for
individuals to build the skills needed to leave PSH and enter permanent independent living
situations.
The transition plan should include areas such as job skill development, resume building,
employment searches, and education about publicly available resources such as Section 8
vouchers. Turning Point does not need to provide these services directly but shall provide
referrals and linkages to community-based programs who have expertise in these areas.
Turning Point will be responsible for ensuring that individuals who participate in this program
have a plan in place should these services end or if those individuals no longer qualify for
participation.
Should Turning Point not be awarded CoC grant funds during the term of the resulting
agreement, DBH will not allocate funds and will discontinue all referrals to those applicants.
