Despite the Development of Permanent Supportive Housing, Custodial Housing Settings

Despite the development of permanent supportive housing, custodial housing settings such as residential care homes, boarding homes, and board and care homes remain part of the mental health system of care. Which option best represents the limitations of such settings for promoting recovery?

A) These settings are typically licensed by local governments, but seldom inspected or audited for adherence to standards.
B) There is limited availability of individually tailored site-based or community-level occupational opportunities.
C) Staffing levels are low and focused mostly on providing basic needs-food, shelter, personal care, and medications.
D) Because other residents are persons with mental illness, there is limited opportunity for social interaction.
