CAPABLE is not available for people under 65 or those living in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), which is the federally endorsed solution to homelessness. PSH offers affordable, independent housing for chronically homeless people who have left the streets, helping to improve their quality of life, and reducing public costs by placing individuals into independent community living...&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://sc-ctsi.org/news/seniors-independence-program-could-also-aid-formerly-homeless-adults" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.&nbsp;
