Progress Update

Q4 updates: 

  • Purchased and opened a new permanent supportive house supported by 24/7 full service partnership staffing and services. We have 7 clients housed at this location. We have received $1,000,000 grant to implement a post housing support team to be implemented Q1 2023. 
  • Established Policies and Procedures, and have defined roles and responsibilities. We now have a project type in the HMIS system to manage referrals and eligibility for the program. Meeting weekly with all partners to discuss supportive housing and strategies for filling vacancies and coordinate entry into the program. Working on developing training resources that will help partners to get housing choice vouchers.
  • Brunswick commons has been completed providing 12 units of permanent supportive housing (PSH), empire mine courtyard was completed and added 6 units of PSH, the 24/7 BH supportive housing was completed and is providing 7 units of PSH. Pacific Crest Commons is still in the planning phases but will provide 10 units of PSH once completed. 
  • Behavioral Health is in receipt of a grant award to provide broader post housing support. This grant will provide new staffing and resources to post housing supports. 
  • A recently awarded grant will provide a dedicated staff position to be embedded in recovery residency programs with the sole role of working to navigate recovery residence stayers into permanent housing. This position is part of the post housing support team in development.
