Pathways to Housing NY - creator

Pathways to Housing was founded by Dr. Sam Tsemberis in 1992, and is

widely credited as being the originator of the Housing First model of

addressing homelessness among people with psychiatric disabilies.

The Housing First model is simple: provide housing rst, and then

combine that housing with supporve treatment services in the

areas of mental and physical health, substance abuse, educaon,

and employment. Housing is provided in apartments scaered

throughout a community. This "scaered site" model fosters a senseof home and self-determinaon, and it helps speed the reintegraon

of Pathways clients into the community.

Why Housing First Now?

Savannah needs new approaches to chronic &

under-served homeless populaons

Chronic because we've been ignoring them Hard problem to solve one size doesn't t all

Family, Women & Children's homelessness Ignored also, but GA 49 out of 50 in 2009 study

Savannah is in GA, must be ignoring them too! Youth, Prison reentry, mental health

(ODR has no housing component!)
