It is grounded in a full-scale blueprint for one supportive-housing unit in the Keith D. Cylar House, the first of Housing Works’ many housing projects throughout the boroughs, as well as bureaucratic definitions of sickness and health, and selected moments from the supportive housing movement—the effort by nonprofit organizations since the 1960s to create affordable housing coupled with medical and social services.
