PREVENTING & ENDING HOMELESSNESS: The Role of Housing Authorities Geraldine McCafferty City of Springfield Director of Housing May 3, 2012

Why “ending homelessness”? Incredibly expensive Diverts resources from long-term solutions Destabilizes communities Public safety Moral obligation

Housing the primary response to homelessness Diversion and Rapid Rehousing Permanent Support Housing Meet needs that lead to housing instability Affordability Supportive Services Efficient use of public resources Limits of “first-come, first-served” Targeting “Right resource to the right person at the right time”

PHAs are critical partners in the effort to prevent and end homelessness Control significant amount of housing resources Expertise and knowledge of local housing market. Effectiveness of a subsidized housing unit in preventing repeat homelessness

Barriers to overcome Tenant Issues No resources for support services Responsibility to landlords and community at large Trust and sustainability issues with service-provider partners Targeting Issues Fairness Potentially meaningless where insufficient supply of housing to meet demand Response: Data-driven Careful design Response: Partnerships Start with pilots Choose partners with experience & strong track record

Community opposition Difficulty in siting supportive housing Can result in projects that do not serve the people most in need of supportive services Response: Very small or scattered site Existing housing units Mixed housing (some PSH in larger development)

PHA programs in place throughout nation Project-based section 8 + supportive services Priorities or set-asides in existing housing Streamlined lease-up procedures HA property managed by a service provider HAs developing units using McKinney & other homeless funds Grant funding for case management, eviction prevention Regional collaborations among PHAs Springfield HA Asheville (NC) HA Lancaster County (PA) HA Malden (MA) HA Portland (OR) HA Vancouver (WA) HA Seattle/King Co. Has DC HA Phoenix HA

Springfield Successes Chronic Homeless Initiative City-SHA collaboration SHA provides 100 project- based vouchers Dedicated city staff provide case management Vouchers used in scattered site units throughout city Marble Street Apartments Failing federally- subsidized housing project Need for PSH for families Federal waiver & DHCD financial support
