A 2023 New Yorker article highlighted, and academic research has confirmed, that mortality rates of single adult permanent supportive housing (PSH) tenants are unacceptably high (Eagen 2023; Raven et al 2015; Kushel et al 2020). Critical Time Intervention (CTI) has increased housing stability of PSH tenants but has never been used to decrease mortality. We discuss how HELP USA is implementing CTI with over 200 new PSH tenants in recently leased up units to decrease mortality and increase social connectedness and positive health outcomes.
