Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is one of the fastest-growing initiatives in the Department of Commerce. The Legislature and governor recognize PSH as an evidence-based practice to end the cycle of chronic homelessness. As a result, in the 2022 legislative session, the Office of Apple Health and Homes (ESHB 1866) and a PSH advisory committee (SHB 1724) were created in a newly formed unit in the Housing Division of Washington State Department of Commerce.
The Apple Health and Homes and Permanent Supportive Housing unit (or AHAH/PSH) will provide technical assistance and help create and maintain affordable housing for people living with behavioral health conditions, other disabling conditions and with extremely low incomes.
In addition, AHAH/PSH will serve a portion of individuals enrolled in HCA’s Foundational Community Supports (FCS) program, who have complex health needs and risk factors.
To gather input on strategies to maintain this balance from stakeholders and interested parties, a public listening session will be held on Thursday, November 17.
Meeting information:
Training learning objectives include:
- Review the FCS program
- Review key principles of the SAMHSA permanent supportive housing model
- Understand fidelity goals under FCS

Meeting information:

If your agency would like to be part of this great work and have participants, landlords, or employers who want to share their story how FCS has made a difference in their life, please contact us by email at HCAEmpAssist@hca.wa.gov. Please be sure to include contact information including full name and email address, send any Protected Health Information in a secured format, and include the HCA media release.
