A best practice of practitioners in permanent supported housing programs is

Permanent supported housing programs aim to provide stable, long-term housing with flexible supports to enable individuals with psychiatric disabilities to live independently in the community. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain III: Community Integration) identifies community integration as a best practice, emphasizing the facilitation of meaningful roles and connections in community settings (Task III.A.1: "Support individuals in accessing and maintaining stable housing"). Option B (community integration) aligns with this, as practitioners in supported housing programs promote engagement in community activities, such as employment, social groups, or volunteering, to enhance recovery and quality of life.

Option A (short-term targeted interventions) contradicts the long-term, flexible nature of supported housing. Option C (clear eligibility and readiness criteria) is minimal in supported housing, typically requiring only a desire to participate, not a best practice. Option D (motivational interviewing) is a technique, not a core housing practice. The PRA Study Guide and SAMHSA’s supported housing guidelines highlight community integration as a key best practice, supporting Option B.
