Presentation transcript:

MISSION & WORK TO DATE WORK TO DATE MISSION Continue the work to prevent and end homelessness among veterans and develop a portfolio of housing and services models to meet the needs of all of the Commonwealth’s veterans regardless of income, status or eligibility for VA benefits Developed a collaborative partnership with DHCD to clarify veterans preferences and simplify Chapter 115 benefits for rent calculation Research the housing and supportive services options for current Grant and Per Diem Transitional Housing program Review current process of re-entry for veterans leaving the correctional system – both VA and non-VA eligible veterans Initiated a master planning effort to align the long term care, housing and supportive services for veterans at the Chelsea and Holyoke Soldiers Home and maximize these facilities in support of the Commonwealth’s veterans.

GOALS COMPLETED DHCD will publish new guidance related to veterans preference in state aided public housing – currently under regulatory review within the public housing reform process Implemented a joint DVS and DHCD authorization to release information protocol in state aided public and subsidized housing to preserve veterans tenancies. Drafted Chapter 115 guidance for rent recalculation in state aided public and subsidized housing to promote simplification of process and insure veterans can maximize state benefits Drafted recommendations to develop protocol for a re-entry strategy for veterans who are not eligible for VA benefits. Draft master plan for Chelsea and Holyoke in process and under review.

RECOMMENDATIONS – FY17 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ONGOING WORK Continue collaboration with MA housing providers to increase the stock of affordable and accessible housing for veterans including those with disabilities, elders, women and families. Provide joint guidance to state aided public and subsidized housing agencies, veterans services officers and SSVF providers regarding veterans preferences and chapter 115 rent calculation. Review Chapter 115 benefit to insure that the program is confluent and not redundant with current federal funding and benefits for veterans Finalize a protocol of engagement with EOHHS and other agencies to support veterans leaving the criminal justice system who are not eligible for VA benefits – DMH, DPH, DTA, MassHealth and EOLWD. With federal and state partners, pursue a strategy to re-program or convert current Grant and Per Diem units to models more suited to the needs of all MA veterans in need of housing and services– bridge housing, specialized treatment programming or assisted living and permanent supportive housing. Initiate stakeholder engagement and finalize master plan for Chelsea and Holyoke. or 1.Numbers?
