Supportive Housing: General

Pursuant to Sec. 5D.2.4. (Supportive Housing: General), supportive housing: general is defined as a residential use with no limit on length of stay for persons with low incomes and/or who have one or more disabilities who may require support from on-site or off-site supportive services for daily living. Eligible populations may include seniors, children within the foster care system, emancipated minors, families with children, elderly persons, young adults aging out of the foster care system, individuals exiting from institutional settings, individuals receiving rehabilitation or mental health support, veterans, and persons or families experiencing homelessness. The housing accommodations are linked to on-site or off-site supportive services, including, but not limited to: subsidized, permanent housing; intensive case management; medical or mental health care; substance abuse treatment; employment services; benefits advocacy; or other services or service referrals necessary to obtain and maintain housing. Any floor area used for office workspace accommodating the administration of supportive services shall be incidental to the residential use. Medical services shall not be provided on the premises, unless otherwise permitted by the applied Use District. Supportive housing: general includes a residential community care facility, assisted living, and permanent supportive housing. Residential uses with six or fewer beds shall be classified as a dwelling rather than supportive housing: general. This use does not include non-residential community care facilities, for such uses see Social Services (Sec. 5D.3.10.).
