Results of The Community Services and Supports (CSS) Programs
- Community Services and Supports (CSS) programs are strongly associated with reductions in homelessness. Transition age youth (TAY) and adults have been found to have reduction in number of days spent homeless. Furthermore, these reductions have complemented by additional improvements in residential outcomes. The number of days spent in restrictive settings and overall consumers of these setting such as residential treatment and emergency shelters has decreased form consumers in all age groups. The number of consumers and days spent in residential or independent living settings increased.
- There is a strong association between Community Services and Supports (CSS) programs’ participation and reductions in acute psychiatric hospitalizations.
- The number of mental health emergencies at hospitals has decreased across all age groups, especially for TAY and older adults.
- There has been an association with reductions in arrests with participation in CSS programs, especially for TAY, adults, and older adults. There is a wide range in variance in the reductions for time spent in criminal justice settings for children and TAY.
- Due to limited supporting evidence, the association between CSS program participation and reduced physical health emergencies and improvements in education cannot be made.
- Currently, there appears to be slight to no difference in employment outcomes for TAY, adults, and older adults participating in CSS programs, for a year of more. These finds are tentative pending more evidence.

“Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... no community where more than one-half of the adults are disfranchised and otherwise incapacitated by law and custom, can be free from great vices. Purity is inconsistent with slavery.”
