Research-To-Practice Brief

Planning the Housing Opportunity and Services Together Demonstration Challenges and Lessons Learned

The Urban Institute authored this issue brief on the multisite Housing Opportunity and Services Together (HOST) demonstration. The demonstration tests strategies using housing as a way to get vulnerable families services that they need to reach self-sufficiency, such as mental health services, access to literacy and education, and a connection to the labor force. Authors provide an overview of the challenges and successes of the program’s planning stages to help provide peers with information to create similar interventions.
