Abstract
This article describes the policy change regarding residential services funded by the public community mental health system, its implementation, and its apparent effect upon the utilization and costs of residential and inpatient services in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1982-1991. The move from supervised to supported housing and funding factors including a housing development grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), introduction of the "housing as housing" policy of the Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH), and the county-wide development and implementation of community support services are discussed.
