Clegg & Associates Incorporated

Confronting a widespread problem

The challenges of providing affordable housing to the different at-risk populations confronts every area of the country. The necessity of providing additional supportive services for many populations compounds the difficulty of maintaining an adequate supply of this housing.

Clegg & Associates has assisted a large number of organizations and communities in improving their capacity to provide supported housing that enables people to attain improved stability. Our work has focused on designing improved housing/service systems for people with problems that make finding and keeping housing a challenge, including those with HIV/AIDS, mental health and/or substance abuse issues, and low incomes.

Strengths that lead to success

The characteristics that make our affordable housing work successful derive from a number of factors:

The world of affordable housing can be complex and controversial – our role as skilled facilitator can bring people together to make progress in adding housing capacity
The services necessary to help people remain in their housing are often poorly funded and organized – we understand how these service systems work and how to connect them to housing
Training for housing staff is a key aspect of making supported housing successful – we are experts in designing and providing training that helps organizations work successfully with their tenants

We bring a particular set of strengths to the affordable housing field, including:

An in-depth understanding of continuum of care planning and implementation approaches
Extensive experience facilitating the design of supported housing systems for at-risk populations
Familiarity with funding sources available to support different types of housing for multiple tenant populations
