Housing Transition and Tenancy Sustaining Services (HTTSS)

HTTSS supports people with disabilities to find and maintain housing in a private home they own, rent, or lease, separate from their service provider. This person centered service is designed to support successful housing transitions and long term housing stability.

HTTSS begins with an assessment of a person’s housing needs, preferences, and goals. From there, a housing plan is developed in collaboration with the person and their chosen team. Services are coordinated with the Individual Support Plan (ISP) and other supports to promote stability, independence, and choice.
