About Supportive Housing Quality Endorsement

What is the CSH Quality Review and Quality Endorsement?

The CSH Quality Supportive Housing Quality Endorsement application and review offers developers and supportive housing project teams:

  • the ability to have planning documents uploaded into one place;
  • the opportunity to work on the application with multiple users (collaborators) from across their project teams;
  • an online tool for coming back to again and again as you plan your next project; 
  • access to printable pdf versions of your completed Commitment to Quality Checklist and supporting documentation all in one document; and
  • the confidence that your supporting documents will be reviewed for their comprehensive commitment to quality supportive housing standards. 

CSH can provide letters of Quality Endorsement for projects in pre-development and development planning stages, as well as for new scattered site programs, that demonstrate that they have considered and incorporated all of the  Quality Supportive Housing Standards into their planning process.

Can I apply for more than one project in the same application?

  • No, in order to apply for CSH Quality Endorsement, you must select ONE project or program for which you would like to apply for review. 
  • After identifying that project or program, please complete the Commitment to Quality Checklist and upload your supporting documentation.

About the process

Throughout the application you will be asked a series of questions related to quality planning steps, written documents, and processes that need your consideration. 

You will be asked to upload supporting documentation for the Quality Endorsement Review that demonstrate your attention and commitment to each question. You can upload up to 3 documents/attachments per section, so we recommend consolidating documents, whenever possible. If a document (e.g. program manual) supports multiple indicators, you can upload it once and upload the Supporting Documentation Index Template (Download template here: Supporting Doc Index) to indicate the sections or page numbers that correspond with the Quality SH Standards and Indicators. 

You may need the following documents ready for uploading:

  •  Services Plan
  • Property Management Plan
  • MOUs and Partner Agreements
  • Tenant Selection Plans
  • Architectural Designs
  • Community Maps
  • Services Budget
  • Proforma
  • Unit subsidy information
  • Copy of lease template
