Integrating Services and Permanent Housing for Families
Affected by Alcohol and Other Drugs: A Guidebook and
Resource Manual has been prepared for use by any individual,
organization, or collaborative entity interested in making
permanent, affordable housing and support services available
to families affected by alcohol and other drugs. The manual
is intended to offer guidance and suggested ways of integrating
permanent housing and support services for this population,
and to help prevent common pitfalls. To this end, it provides
information to consider in developing various forms of permanent
housing and a range of support services for families. It does
not, however, pretend to be all-inclusive or to prescribe
any one way of integrating housing and services. Rather,it
provides information about best practices which are based
on opinions and collective experience and may vary considerably
among communities.
Specifically, the manual includes:
- an overview of the need and basic principles,
- key considerations and critical issues in the development
and management of permanent housing and support services
for families affected by alcohol and other drugs,
- resource development,
- basic guidelines to help any individual, agency or community
take the first steps toward planning, developing and managing
a program which integrates permanent housing and support
services for families affected by alcohol and other drugs,
- program profiles to illustrate different ways of developing,
managing and/or linking affordable housing, which is conducive
to recovery, with support services to help families maintain
sobriety, keep their families together and work toward self-sufficiency,
and
