Strengthen housing focused case management and post housing supportive services

Homeless Plan 2022
Description

Homeless individuals or those at risk of homelessness need continued support to acquire and maintain housing. Housing supports, Full-Service Partnership, and behavioral health case management in concert with the Housing Resource Team provides the support necessary to retain housing.

Progress Update

Q3 Updates:

  • Purchased and opened a new  permanent supportive house supported by 24/7 Full Service Partnership (FSP) staffing and services. 
  • FSP participation in the Housing Resource Team (HRT) continues and is being redefined for better post housing supports. Training in how to connect clients to permanent supportive housing (PSH) housing, delineating rolls and responsibilities between AMI housing, Behavioral Health and Full Service Partners when developing treatment plans and goals for mutual clients, and accessing  Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) and other rental subsidies are in progress. 
  • A recently awarded grant will provide broader post-housing support and staffing as well as a dedicated staff position to be embedded in recovery residency programs with the role of working to navigate recovery residence stayers into permanent housing.
  •  Through Brunswick Commons, Ranch House, and Pacific Crest Commons, 28 units of permanent supportive housing (PSH) are in planning, under construction, or completed. Pacific Crest Commons provides 10 units of PSH in Truckee. 
Next Steps

Priorities for next quarter: 

  • Establish procedures at the Connecting Point/coordinated entry level to quickly identify newly homeless and connect them to an eligible service. This step will be accomplished in the upcoming FY23-24 contract renewal with Connecting Point.
