housing to homeless persons to enable them to live as independently as 
possible.

    (1) Transitional housing to facilitate the movement of homeless 
individuals and families to permanent housing;
    (2) Permanent housing that provides long-term housing for homeless 
persons with disabilities;
    (3) Housing that is, or is part of, a particularly innovative 
project for, or alternative methods of, meeting the immediate and long-
term needs of homeless persons; or
    (4) Supportive services for homeless persons not provided in 
conjunction with supportive housing.
