What condition allows a household in a PSH program to move on from intensive services?

• A. They have been financially stable for the last 3 years in the PSH program and have a fixed income source.
• B. They must have moved to permanent housing.
• C. They must no longer want any services.
• D. They must be employed full-time for six months.

Answer: (A)

In PSH, the focus is on maintaining housing stability while determining when intensive supports can be stepped down. The best indicator that a household no longer needs intensive services is sustained financial stability with a fixed income source. When someone has shown stable finances over time, they can reliably cover ongoing housing costs and manage daily needs, which demonstrates readiness to function with less intensive case management. This eligibility signal isn’t about having already moved to permanent housing or about wanting fewer services, and a period of full-time employment alone doesn’t guarantee long-term stability without the accompanying income security.
