For clients who need more than temporary shelter, ACS Y provides extended case management through permanent supportive housing (PSH) provided in a variety of settings encompassing hundreds of units. Partnering with community resources, case managers help clients access applicable financial supports like Social Security Disability, and services like healthcare, counseling, or job training. Many programs are offered on site and include enrichment and self-care options.


PSH serves to create its own community, case managers are available just to chat, or to talk a client through a life situation, for example, working out a landlord-tenant issue. In addition, social activities stimulate social bonds. In this supportive environment, clients take more initiative, contribute, and help others.
