The U.S.Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) has contracted with Abt Associates Inc. to
conduct and evaluate HUD’s Supportive Services Demonstration (SSD),
also referred to as Integrated Wellness in Supportive Housing
(IWISH). The SSD is a three year demonstration sponsored by HUD to
test the impact of a new model of housing-based supportive services
on the healthcare utilization and housing stability of low-income
older adults. The goal of the SSD model is to help older adults in
HUD-assisted housing to age in place successfully. The SSD model
funds a full-time Resident Wellness Director (RWD) and part-time
Wellness Nurse (WN) to work in HUD assisted housing developments
that either predominantly or exclusively serve households headed by
people aged 62 or over. These services are not typically available
in HUD-assisted housing developments for this population and are
anticipated to positively impact outcomes.
