Description:... This evaluation of the SHDP provides strong support for the creation of a flexible block grant to aid the homeless. Perhaps the best designed of the many HUD-administered McKinney homeless assistance programs, SHDP consisted of two distinct initiatives: the Transitional Housing Program for homeless individuals and families, and the Permanent Housing Program for homeless persons with disabilities. This report provides a comprehensive summary of the many achievements of the program, which was succeeded by the Supportive Housing Program in 1992.
