CSH FUSE
Improve Outcomes | Decrease Costs

uncoordinated service responses
as people without housing
frequently cycle between shelters,
hospitals, jails, and the streets.
CSH FUSE has been formally evaluated and shows impressive reductions in the use of expensive
crisis services and greatly improves housing retention. Over 30 communities implementing FUSE are
seeing positive results.

CSH FUSE is a proven model identifying frequent users of jails, shelters, hospitals and/or other crisis
public services and then improving their lives through supportive housing. Supportive housing is an
evidence-based solution that leads to better health and other good outcomes for people homeless and
disabled. Tenants are provided affordable housing with wraparound support services, which stabilizes
their lives and significantly reduces returns to jail and homelessness, reliance on emergency health
services, and improves overall quality of life.
The CSH FUSE Roadmap
FUSE Champion: Take the First Step
A successful FUSE initiative requires a local Champion with the vision to see the potential to change
the trajectory for vulnerable people while also maximizing public resources through cross-systems
planning, collaboration, partnerships and cooperation. You can identify or be the Champion in your
community!
CSH: The Perfect Coach
FUSE is a CSH Signature Initiative. As the FUSE Coach, CSH invented the playbook. We can help
your Champion and community successfully navigate every stage of FUSE with our tailored workshops,
training and one-on-one technical assistance.
