This webinar provides an overview of how permanent supportive housing (PSH) can be used as a primary strategy for states to utilize in their Olmstead compliance and planning efforts. Topics include the principles of community integration and PSH, state approaches to Olmstead implementation, common components in Olmstead settlement agreements, and alignment with federal policy and funding priorities. Examples are given of specific strategies states are using to implement Olmstead plans or settlement agreements. Presenters emphasize how PSH can help states achieve several policy objectives, including addressing chronic homelessness, institutionalization, and utilizers of high cost services.
