Review for Corporation For Supportive Housing, New York, NY, USA
In my role as deputy director for my city's housing department, CSH has been a fantastic resource in developing a plan and allocating resources to end homelessness. They have connected us with ideas and with practitioners in similar cities. Largely as a result of their influence, we formed a three-way partnership with our city and county government and United Way to fund a substantial Housing First initiative that produced over 1,000 housing units. CSH is pragmatic and results-oriented. They aren't trying to preach an ideology--just support efforts that work. Very effective organization!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Continue to be creative. We are entering a period when supportive housing development will be harder to fund, so I look to CSH to find and publicize other ways to combine housing and services
