Mission Statement
To advance solutions that use housing as a platform for services to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people, maximize public resources and build healthy communities.
Description
In 1991, Julie founded the Corporation for Supportive Housing with funding from three of the nation’s leading philanthropies--the Pew Charitable Trusts, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Ford Foundation. Twenty years later, we’re still inspired to bring supportive housing to those who need it most. From our New York City headquarters and our growing number of field office locations, CSH offers a comprehensive portfolio of services that boost the value and impact of work in cities and states throughout the U.S. CSH was established to support the efforts of local pioneers developing service-supported housing for those most in need. It initially focused on people coping with homelessness and extreme poverty, as well as chronic health conditions such as mental illness, addiction or HIV/AIDS.
