Semiperm housing was developed by the Settlement Housing Fund, a 39 year-old-non-profit organization, whose mission is to create and maintain economically and ethnically diverse affordable housing with community programs and neighborhood amenities. Throughout its history, senior staff at Settlement Housing Fund have seen the need for a program for families who have challenges finding and maintaing permaneant housing, but who could thrive in an environment with supports and structure.
