Section

145.60  Permanent Supportive Housing Service Linkage

a)         All

DHS-DMH PSH models assure that needed services and supports are available to

the tenant living in a PSH/Bridge Subsidy unit.

1)         The

tenant should have access to a flexible and comprehensive array of

recovery-oriented services and supports to assist the tenant in achieving a

successful community adjustment.

2)         Services

shall be elective,  support the tenant's clinical/therapeutic or treatment

needs to function and live independently in the community, and must be based on

medical necessity.  All services shall be provided in mutual agreement with the

person receiving the services.

b)         As

part of the enrollment process for PSH, the tenant will be required to consent

to case management visits conducted by the DHS or State contracted vendor at

the tenant's residence, at an alternatively arranged location, or virtually

with assistive technology to help determine the wellness of the tenant.

c)         Service

Providers are encouraged to proactively seek to engage tenants in on-site and

community-based services and supports.  In addition, Care Managers are

encouraged to work with landlords, as appropriate, to develop and execute

coordinated strategies for addressing issues that may threaten housing

stability for the tenant, such as mental health crisis, substance use and

relapse.
