Substance Use and Permanent Supportive Housing: Results from the PerCH Survey

Submitted by megbrunner on Tue, 09/03/2024 - 12:54

What do permanent supportive housing residents think about drug use, overdose, where they live, and their service needs?

Residents living in permanent supportive housing are at a higher risk to witness or have an overdose. To learn more about this group of people and substance use issues, UW ADAI Research Coordinator and MSW Student Saul Petersky conducted a survey of 188 residents in ten counties across WA State.

The WA State Permanent Supportive Housing Perceptions and Community Health (PerCH) Survey asked residents about:

  • Perceptions of substance use in housing, and related service needs and policies
  • Knowledge of overdose response and naloxone access
  • Community relationships, isolation, and sense of empowerment

This webinar will present results from the survey and identify potential strategies to address overdose and substance use in these programs, and better support residents who use drugs. A full report on the survey results will be released in September.
