Abstract

This study aims to propose an improvement direction for supportive housing for the homeless by investigating the characteristics of the housing environment, the use status of support services use, and manager requirements for the managers of supportive housing. To this end, on-site surveys of supportive housing were conducted, and in-depth interviews were conducted with supervisors in charge of service and management. The study findings were as follows: First, as the family relationship recovers after moving in, the supply of supportive housing of various sizes and plan designs for homeless people and families must be considered. Second, it is necessary to review the establishment of spatial planning standards so that supportive housing facilities can be planned as barrier-free designs that can be safely used by residents in consideration of their age and health status. Third, the community space and manager’s office space in the supportive housing should be independently planned to supportive housing to promote the manager’s safety and work efficiency. Fourth, institutional improvements are needed to provide managers with minimum and essential medical history information about the residents in order to respond quickly and appropriately to emergencies occurring in supportive housing. Fifth, among the services provided by supportive housing, it is necessary to consider introducing a policy that requires residents to participate in services related to illness or safety.
