NAM’s Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs are designed to promote residential stability and positive health outcomes by offering indefinite stay housing options to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness and where at least one member of the household has a documented disability. Services include rent subsidies, case management, transportation assistance, and advocacy.

To determine if you are eligible for Permanent Supportive Housing you must be assessed at one of Houston’s designated Coordinated Access sites. Information can be obtained at Houston’s Coalition for the Homeless ​www.homelesshouston.org.

Services may include case management, tenant/landlord mediation, advocacy/benefit entitlements, short-term financial assistance, referrals and varied workshops that can help individuals who are at risk of homelessness.

It is the policy of Northwest Assistance Ministries to comply with Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, (commonly known as the Fair Housing Act) by ensuring that all services are available to all persons without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, disability, familial status, and sex. Northwest Assistance Ministries understands further that local ordinances may include other protected classes.

HMIS AND DATA SHARING PRACTICES

Access to HMIS records, case records and other confidential information will be limited to staff members. Confidential information will not be released without a client’s written approval except in the event that a medical, mental health, legal, or other emergency arises in which notification is necessary.
