Corporation for Supportive Housing

On any given day, 7,000 people are homeless in San Diego. Over $70,000,000 in state and local funding is available over the next 3 years to provide the housing and services needed, but without assistance, San Diego is unlikely to use the funds due to lack of expertise and regional collaboration.

The Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) is determined to enable San Diego’s communities to create permanent housing with services to prevent and end homelessness. Engaging and supporting local social service agencies, developers, public policy makers, and neighborhoods, CSH provides the expertise and collaboration required to finance, develop and successfully operate housing for the chronically homeless. CSH focuses on developing “supportive housing” projects which combine safe and affordable housing with services such as mental health case management. With the help of SDSVP in strategic planning and marketing, CSH aims to procure the development of over 200 new units of housing.

"Working with SDSVP, we can better define a strategic plan to then position and market the demonstrated success of supportive housing to San Diego’s developers, politicians, and communities. We’ll directly spur the development of quality housing by ensuring that San Diego uses the government funding available and permanently end homelessness.”
