Get Educated
Permanent supportive Housing is often presented as a proven solution to chronic homelessness, but the reality on the ground is more complicated. Across the country, communities have raised serious concerns about transparency, safety, density, and long-term management of PSH developments.
Below are selected case studies, news articles, and community responses that highlight where PSH projects have faced opposition, operational challenges, or unintended consequences:
Lack of support services or underfunded staffing
Misalignment with neighborhood infrastructure
Safety concerns from nearby schools or parks
Poor accountability or oversight of residents and operators
Displacement of existing community members through rezoning
We’re not sharing these examples to dismiss the idea of housing for those in need—but to ask for smarter planning, better execution, and honest conversation.
