CHALLENGES AND RESPONSES
To Ending Homelessness in Pasadena SERVICE RESISTANCE Individuals with highest needs continue to be the most service resistant. CONTINUED OUTREACH Build trust through continued outreach INCREASED NEED FOR SERVICES The current chronically homeless population has significant service needs MEASURE H Will provide additional funding for homeless services LIMITED HOUSING High rents & low vacancy rates mean very few units accept permanent supportive housing (PSH) vouchers. As a result there is a need for more PSH units. INCREASE HOUSING SUPPLY By developing new permanent supportive housing units and strengthening landlord relationships.
