title: Tenant resource coordinators: an experiment in supportive housing.
abstract: Supportive housing has been recognized as one option that allows older individuals to remain in the community. In this paper we examine the concept of a tenant resource coordinator (TRC) within an elderly persons' housing unit to link social and health services with housing as a type of supportive housing. Findings suggest that the TRC functions to convey information about services to tenants and vice versa. As such, the TRC fulfills the role of facilitator between two existing systems, community services and housing.
