In March 2007, the Greensboro Housing Authority established a community based permanent and supportive housing service program for homeless individuals and families with special needs. The Supportive Housing Program utilizes both the Housing First and Rapid Re-Housing approach to move eligible participants into housing to live independently in a safe environment, while benefiting from the availability of support services.
