Chronically homeless adults with severe mental illness are heavy users of costly inpatient and emergency psychiatric services. Full-service partnerships (FSPs) provide housing and engage clients in treatment.

Traditional housing placements often involve segregated and programs typically require individuals to transition from more to less restrictive living situations."
