CSH offers free and fee-based technical assistance to housing developers seeking to develop and operate high-quality supportive housing. Developers can utilize our free tools and resources to evaluate existing or planned projects or engage CSH for a Supportive Housing Quality Endorsement. Visit our Supportive Housing Quality Standards section to learn more.

CSH has extensive experience providing HUD-funded assistance to CoCs (Continuum of Care Programs), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) Program Recipients and Subrecipients, HUD customers, public housing authorities (PHAs), government partners, and nonprofits to create affordable housing and end homelessness for a range of populations (chronic, Veterans, families, and youth). Our work has resulted in well-designed permanent supportive housing (PSH) projects and coordinated entry processes and thousands of PSH and other affordable housing projects. 

CSH is also a National Training and Technical Assistance Partner (NTTAP) funded by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) through the Bureau of Primary Healthcare (BPHC). NTTAPs are responsible for creating, managing, coordinating, and assessing training and technical assistance for health centers.
