The Supportive Housing Provider Association (SHPA) is a trade association made up of developers, providers and residents of permanent supportive housing, the key to ending homelessness and institutionalization of people with disabilities. We work together to advance evidenced-based practices, educate the general public and elected officials, and increase supportive housing development and maintain current supportive housing projects. We are the only trade association in Illinois that embraces the residents of supportive housing in the leadership of the organization.
