NEXT HOUSING SEMINAR CLICK HERE Supportive housing is frequently a critical need for members of the entertainment community, particularly those who are elderly, disabled or HIV-positive. In the early 1990s, The Actors' Fund Board and management took a fresh look at the agency's provision of shelter. In practical terms, The Fund was already in the "bricks and mortar" business of supportive housing. Rent subsidies consumed about half of all the nonprofit agency's financial assistance budget. Members of the entertainment profession were hit especially hard by the AIDS crisis, creating an ever-increasing need for services and housing. In addition, The Actors' Fund gained expertise in supportive housing through its ownership and operation of The Lillian Booth Actors' Home of the Actors' Fund of America in Englewood, New Jersey, representing a century of service. Supportive housing in New York City and Los Angeles became top priority initiatives and suited The Fund's long-term strategic plans. For more details click here:
