*Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is the combination of long-term housing assistance and case management for those
who have been homeless longer than one year and are disabled.

**Rapid rehousing (RRH) is the combination of short-term (usually one year) of housing assistance and case management for
those who are homeless; often, this intervention serves families who need assistance connecting to employment.

***Rapid exit is one-time lease-up/rental assistance for homeless households who are employed and can maintain housing
without ongoing subsidy.
