Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an evidence-based intervention to end homelessness but programs can vary widely in their type and intensity of supportive services. This study tests the feasibility of implementing evidence-based psychosocial interventions (e.g. motivational interviewing or cognitive behavioral therapy) through Telehealth (TH) to PSH residents in an urban setting. PSH tenants who lived in 3 separate buildings were eligible for TH services. Service engagement was assessed by documenting recruitment efforts and referrals and by tracking enrollment and frequency of service utilization. TH implementation challenges were monitored whereby providers noted any difficulties they experienced either recruiting participants or implementing TH. Only 27% of enrolled clients (n = 26) completed this program, largely due to technology issues; however, completion rates improved to 83% once technology issues were resolved. Adequate access to internet connectivity, along with organizational support, should be included in policies to expand PSH in order to fairly provide access to technology-based services
